Together, Here gathers alumni artists and past members of Akron Soul Train in a collective reflection on presence, continuity, and creative exchange. Presented as part of the organization’s anniversary season, the exhibition honors the artists who have shaped Akron Soul Train’s first decade while underscoring the evolving practices that continue beyond residency.

Spanning painting, sculpture, photography, installation, interdisciplinary work, and performance, Together, Here emphasizes the breadth of voices within this community. Rather than centering a single theme, the exhibition foregrounds adjacency — distinct practices existing side by side — revealing how shared space fosters experimentation, risk, and sustained connection.

At its core, Together, Here is about remaining: artists choosing to stay engaged with one another and with the community that first brought them together. In marking this anniversary moment, the exhibition becomes both reflection and affirmation — a reminder that creative ecosystems are built not only through individual achievement, but through collective presence.

“Anniversaries are not just about looking back — they’re about recognizing what has grown. Together, Here honors the artists who have shaped Akron Soul Train while affirming our continued commitment to creative risk and connection.”

— Colleen Suich, Executive Director
