FRESH 2019 Art Exhibition show image

HEAR THE FRESH ARTISTS TALK ART

“FRESH” artists will gather for a panel discussion led by juror Amy Mothersbaugh on Thursday, Feb. 7, from 7-8 p.m. in the main gallery surrounded by the artwork. The event is free. Reserve your seat here: https://bit.ly/2LpQP9e.

Back for its 15th year at Summit Artspace on East Market, “FRESH 2019” runs until Feb. 16 with the most inventive works by local artists from Northeast Ohio. The FRESH artists panel discussion is one of the highlights of the show.

With a reputation for celebrating new perspectives, “FRESH” challenges regional artists to take their art in new directions. Art that is accepted as part of this annual exhibition is innovative and challenges us to view the world through a new lens. The works feature novel styles, original thinking and demonstrate a high level of skill in the artist’s chosen 2D or 3D media.

Summit Artspace on East Market is located at 140 East Market St., Akron. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
