SUMMARY:Summer Exhibitions Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Five exhibitions open at Summit Artspace on Friday\, July 11\, 2025\, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Spring exhibitions will be open during public hours on Fridays from Noon to 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. through Friday\, September 13\, 2025. \nSummit Artspace’s Spring Exhibitions opening night will showcase an incredible group of local artists in the galleries throughout all three floors of the historic Akron building. The event provides an opportunity to meet exhibiting artists\, hear their stories\, and engage with the community. \nBetty and Howard Taylor Main Gallery\nThough We May Roam | Group Exhibition\nArtists Lizzi Aronhalt\, Andy Curlowe\, Lauren Davies\, Michelle Droll\, Charisse Harris\, and Arnold Tunstall explore what it means to call the rustbelt home through a range of mediums and processes in this exhibition. Themes of domesticity\, environment\, and place all converge to expand our understanding of the world around us and the specific place in it that we claim.  The feeling of home can be as personal as the way our blanket smells or as universal as the grass below our feet. Home is often informed and defined in contrast to other places we visit. \nWelcome Gallery\nOverdose Awareness Exhibition\nIn partnership with Summit County Public Health \nIn honor of Overdose Awareness Day on August 31\, artists in Summit and contiguous counties created artworks exploring their personal experience with overdose and addiction\, honoring a loved one who has died\, and serving as an ally for those who have struggled. The day represents the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose\, remember without stigma those who have died\, and acknowledge the grief of those left behind. \nIntersections Gallery\nA Bunch of Landscapes | Cassie Jeffries\nAbstract paintings on shaped canvases by Cassie Jeffries are inspired by the environment and its ever-changing landscapes. The subject of landscapes and their natural systems of change\, like erosion\, growth\, and decay\, acts as a conduit for processing internal and social anxieties. For the artist\, this focus on change makes way for coming to terms with personal griefs. Many of the natural motifs and forms present in the paintings are drawn from Jeffries’ home in Akron\, OH.  \nForum Gallery\nRoots | Juried Exhibition\nCurated by Al Macdougall\, this exhibition centers around themes of personal histories\, familial histories\, and paying homage to home- whether that be Akron or an abstract feeling. This theme will also honor Summit Artspace for all it has done for its artists and patrons since its inception. Mediums include—but are not limited to—textile\, film\, and mixed media photography. Works will emphasize a cultural tie to heritage or documentation. \nHorizon Gallery\nCovered in Snow | Katelynn Rogers\nIn this series of photographs\, Katelynn Rogers draws connections between environmental decay and social issues impacting women in the state of Ohio. Nature\, and specifically trees\, became a personal projection of anxieties reflecting the artist’s own healthcare emergency\, which led to research into other women’s experiences dealing with domestic abuse and reproductive crises. Motifs like tree branches and spider webs act as visual metaphors for the collective disquietude of local women\, and their relationship to the socio-political climate of the state.

Sign-up to attend by Friday\, February 21 at 5:00 p.m.\n\n\n \n\n\nINSTRUCTOR BIO:\n\n\nDr. Elaine Grogan Luttrull\, CPA-PFS\, AFC® (she/her) is the founder of Minerva Financial Arts\, a company devoted to building financial literacy and empowerment in creative individuals through education and coaching. Her workshops and presentations have been featured nationally by groups that support the arts\, a variety of state and regional arts councils and commissions\, and colleges and universities where creative students thrive.\n\n\n \n\n\nElaine spent 10 years in academia\, teaching at the Columbus College of Art & Design and serving as the Department Head for Business & Entrepreneurship from 2014-2018. Before that\, Elaine served as the Director of Financial Analysis for The Juilliard School and in the Transaction Advisory Services practice of Ernst & Young in New York.\n\n\n \n\n\nElaine is the author of Arts & Numbers (Agate\, B2 2013)\, and she contributes regularly to industry guides\, including those from the Center for Cultural Innovation and the Joan Mitchell Foundation.
