The 18th annual FRESH juried exhibition will be on view in the Betty and Howard Taylor Main Gallery. Juried by Jared Ledesma, senior curator at the Akron Art Museum, FRESH pushes the boundaries of what art can be—stylistically, conceptually and technically—and challenges the viewer to see the world through a new lens. Awards will be announced virtually at 7 p.m. on Jan. 14 via Facebook and YouTube. 

A View of a House by Diane Pribojan will be exhibited in the Transition Gallery. Using a house as a symbol of security, these paintings are intended to evoke a peaceful environment for the viewer and a release from a chaotic world. Pribojan is inspired by rural architecture and landscapes. She will give an artist talk at Summit Artspace on January 29 at 2 p.m. Admission to the artist talk will be free on a first-come, first-served basis. The artist talk will also be streamed on Facebook and YouTube. 

Thinking Large, Working Small by Kenn Hetzel will be displayed in the 3G Gallery. This body of work consists of one hundred small-scale stone sculptures that also act as maquettes for large-scale pieces that may or may not be constructed. The main medium, stone, is combined with metal, wood and miscellaneous found objects. 

Pick It Up Together by Jacob Mollohan will be on view in the Welcome Gallery. This photography series highlights the bond between people within a community, illustrating how sports have the ability to bring diverse groups together and encourage tolerance and inclusion.

The In Kind group exhibition will be on view in the Second Floor Gallery. This exhibition was made possible by the generous local artists who donated to Summit Artspace’s annual Arts Alive auction in June 2021. This selection of works spans a variety of media including woodworking, glass sculpture, printmaking and painting, epitomizing the vibrancy of Greater Akron’s visual arts community.
