At the Akron Art Museum, open 11 am – 5 pm, enjoy free gallery admission to the collection and special exhibitions The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Ohio and All-Star Jazz: The Photographs of Herman Leonard. This is the first Sunday Sampler to see The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Ohio and the last to view All-Star Jazz: The Photographs of Herman Leonard. Gallery admission is required for Kaleidoscope Quilts: The Art of Paula Nadelstern ($7 adults; $5 seniors and students; members and children 12 and under free).

Summit Artspace will be open from 1 – 5 pm and will feature the special exhibition The Altered Book Project showcasing the work of 17 top area artists.
