Kaleidoscope 2018 image

The 16th Annual Kaleidoscope Juried Holiday Show is the most anticipated and final art competition of the year at Summit Artspace on East Market.

See the winners here.

Kaleidoscope is AN AREA HOLIDAY TRADITION

The exhibition which runs until Dec. 29 is free and open to the public. This year’s juried exhibition, organized each year by the Alliance for the Visual Arts, will include only a fraction of the hundreds of entries submitted online.

Kaleidoscope was founded in 2003 by AVA which is the umbrella group of the four area arts organizations: Akron Society of Artists, Artists of Rubber City, Cuyahoga Valley Art Center and the Women’s Art League of Akron. More than 600 active members are eligible to compete in Kaleidoscope.

This is a very prominent show and gives inspiration to artists and art lovers from all over Northeast Ohio. Cash prizes for the top juried winners were awarded at the opening event by Juror David Rankin of Cleveland, who is an internationally-known and award-winning transparent watercolorist and instructor.

Gallery visitors will be able to vote for their favorite artist to win the coveted Kaleidoscope Award, a working kaleidoscope designed and hand-blown by glass artist, Bob Pozarski. The winner will be announced at the end of the show on the Summit Artspace website. John Sokol was the 2017 People’s Choice winner whose work, “One Foot in the Grave,” is used in this year’s publicity.

KALEIDOSCOPE OPEN HOURS

Summit Artspace’s main gallery is open Thursdays and Fridays, noon to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m.
