SUMMARY:Finding the Narrative with Joan Colbert\, Jan. 16-Feb. 22
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Akron artist Joan Colbert kicks-off the year of shows in the Summit Artspace on East Market Welcome Gallery with Finding the Narrative. \nOPENING RECEPTION \nThe free opening is Thursday\, Jan. 16\, 4-7 p.m. The show\, which is free and open to the public\, runs Jan. 16-Feb. 22. \nWELCOME GALLERY HOURS\nSummit Artspace’s Welcome Gallery is open weekly Thursdays and Fridays\, noon to 7 p.m.\, and Saturdays\, noon to 5 p.m. Additional hours include Jan. 16 and Feb. 20 for 3rd Thursday\, 4-7 p.m.\, and the Feb. 1 Artwalk\, 5-9 p.m. \nABOUT ARTIST JOAN COLBERT\nArtist Joan Colbert works in mixed media with an emphasis on printmaking\, collage and painting. Inspired by literature and influenced by her environs\, she often creates works that are thematic\, frequently including references to her favorite motifs: blackbirds and bare trees. In all of her work Joan strives to reach a balance between design and idea and hopes that in each piece there is just enough left unstated to evoke more personal interpretations. Her recent\, ongoing series\, As Potent as a Charm\, explores the malevolent side of familiar plants in a collection of black and white linoleum block prints. Although the concept is botanical\, allusions to dark tales and malfeasance hint at a narrative within each visual representation. \nFinding the Narrative by Joan Colbert\nA graduate of the University of Akron\, Joan has won numerous awards in both juried shows and art festivals. The Akron-Summit County Public Library owns work commissioned for branch libraries\, including the Mogadore\, North Hill and Goodyear branches. As the First Night® Akron 2001 button designer she created a mixed media piece: a whimsical skyline with a dove\, a peregrine falcon and a blackbird/jester. In 2019 Joan was honored with the Arts Alive Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Summit Artspace. \nJoan was gallery coordinator for the Summit Artspace Gallery from 2007 to 2013\, is a member of Artists of Rubber City and lives in the Highland Square area of Akron. Along with Open Studio events\, her home was featured in Artist in Residence – The West Hill Tour of Expressive Addresses. She has a studio in Summit Artspace on the first floor. \nwww.joancolbert.com \nABOUT SUMMIT ARTSPACE\nSummit Artspace is a non-profit arts organization that provides studio\, exhibit and programming spaces in Summit County and the surrounding area for local artists and arts organizations; and is a center for art education open to all residents.

SUMMARY:Creative Recovery\, Art of the Struggle\, Jan. 4-Feb. 1
DESCRIPTION:Creative Recovery\, an exhibition that seeks to give artistic expression to the struggle\, celebration and sometimes\, the tragedy of recovery\, is open in the Transition Gallery at Summit Artspace on East Market through Feb. 1. \nThe juror is artist Janet Mikolajczyk of Hudson. Admission is free. The Transition Gallery is located on the first floor of Summit Artspace on East Market\, 140 E. Market St.\, Akron. \nSee the winners here. \nGALLERY HOURS\nSummit Artspace galleries are open weekly Thursdays and Fridays\, noon to 7 p.m.\, and Saturdays\, noon to 5 p.m. Additional hours include 4-7 p.m. during the Jan. 16 Third Thursday and 5-9 p.m. for the Feb. 1 Artwalk. \nABOUT THE EXHIBIT\nArt is a process\, the same as recovery is a process. Because art and recovery are deeply personal\, art and recovery can be a very unique way of changing people’s attitudes\, values\, feelings and goals. \nArtists have been invited to use images to express pain\, struggles\, victory\, fear\, resilience and many other emotions experienced during a recovery. The art can represent the artist’s personal journey or depict the journey of another and the impact of watching the journey as a bystander. \nCreative Recovery includes painting\, drawing\, jewelry-making\, and all forms of 2D and 3D art can be used as the portal for the expression. Artists are explolring deep emotions—the sadness\, the hopelessness\, the fear\, and the relief\, the joys\, and the hope of a new day. \nShow image is The Guardian Angel of the Good Death by Judy Takacs. \nABOUT SUMMIT ARTSPACE\nSummit Artspace is a non-profit community art center organization that provides studio\, exhibit and programming spaces in Summit County and the surrounding area for local artists and arts organizations; and is a center for art education open to all residents.

SUMMARY:OPENING! Facing the Façade\, architecture inspiring art\, at Summit Artspace on Tusc
DESCRIPTION:Architecture is an art form that lends itself to become icons of cities and nations. Facing the Façade is a collection depicting how local artists are affected by architecture; how they interpret it or how they choose to deconstruct it. \nThe juried exhibition runs from Jan. 25 to March 7\, 2020\, at Summit Artspace on Tusc in Barberton\, Ohio. It is free and open to the public. \nOPENING OF FACING THE FAÇADE\nFacing the Façade opens with an artist reception on Saturday\, Jan. 25\, 12-5 p.m.\, at Summit Artspace on Tusc\, 571 W. Tuscarawas Ave.\, Barberton. The event is free and open to the public. \nABOUT FACING THE FAÇADE\nFrom overwhelmingly grand palaces and modern museums to cozy cabins and dilapidated ruins\, architecture is a fixture of human kind. \nBuildings and structures can have an underlying  power that can impose comfort or fear or awe. We are surrounded by architecture on a daily basis. We also travel around the world to marvel at its diversity. \nFor this exhibition artists capture what intrigues them about architecture in their medium and style of choice. \nGALLERY HOURS FOR FACING THE FAÇADE\nThe show will be open weekly Fridays\, 5-8 p.m.\, and Saturdays\, 12-5 p.m.\, through March 7. Free admission. Check out the artist studios when you visit. \nFACING THE FAÇADE ARTIST DISCUSSION PANEL\, FEB. 29\nArtists and the juror will discuss the show and the relationship between art and architecture at a discussion panel on Saturday\, Feb. 29\, 2-3 p.m. at the Summit Artspace on Tusc gallery. Plan on visiting the artist studios in the building. Free admission. Reserve your seat for the panel here. \nFACING THE FAÇADE JUROR\nMark Mistur\, AIA\, Facing the Façade juror\, Dean of KSU College of Architecture and Environmental Design\nFacing the Façade will be judged by Mark Mistur\, AIA\, dean and professor at the Kent State University College of Architecture and Environmental Design. \nMark Mistur became the dean of Kent State University’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design\, the only architectural program in Northeast Ohio\,  in 2016.  He previously served since 2009 as associate dean of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s School of Architecture.

Because art and recovery are deeply personal\, art and recovery can be a very unique way of changing people’s attitudes\, values\, feelings and goals. \nArtists have been invited to use images to express pain\, struggles\, victory\, fear\, resilience and many other emotions experienced during a recovery. The art can represent the artist’s personal journey or depict the journey of another and the impact of watching the journey as a bystander. \nCreative Recovery includes painting\, drawing\, jewelry-making\, and all forms of 2D and 3D art can be used as the portal for the expression. Artists are explolring deep emotions—the sadness\, the hopelessness\, the fear\, and the relief\, the joys\, and the hope of a new day. \nShow image is The Guardian Angel of the Good Death by Judy Takacs. \nABOUT SUMMIT ARTSPACE\nSummit Artspace is a non-profit community art center organization that provides studio\, exhibit and programming spaces in Summit County and the surrounding area for local artists and arts organizations; and is a center for art education open to all residents.

SUMMARY:Finding the Narrative with Joan Colbert\, Jan. 16-Feb. 22
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Akron artist Joan Colbert kicks-off the year of shows in the Summit Artspace on East Market Welcome Gallery with Finding the Narrative. \nOPENING RECEPTION \nThe free opening is Thursday\, Jan. 16\, 4-7 p.m. The show\, which is free and open to the public\, runs Jan. 16-Feb. 22. \nWELCOME GALLERY HOURS\nSummit Artspace’s Welcome Gallery is open weekly Thursdays and Fridays\, noon to 7 p.m.\, and Saturdays\, noon to 5 p.m. Additional hours include Jan. 16 and Feb. 20 for 3rd Thursday\, 4-7 p.m.\, and the Feb. 1 Artwalk\, 5-9 p.m. \nABOUT ARTIST JOAN COLBERT\nArtist Joan Colbert works in mixed media with an emphasis on printmaking\, collage and painting. Inspired by literature and influenced by her environs\, she often creates works that are thematic\, frequently including references to her favorite motifs: blackbirds and bare trees. In all of her work Joan strives to reach a balance between design and idea and hopes that in each piece there is just enough left unstated to evoke more personal interpretations. Her recent\, ongoing series\, As Potent as a Charm\, explores the malevolent side of familiar plants in a collection of black and white linoleum block prints. Although the concept is botanical\, allusions to dark tales and malfeasance hint at a narrative within each visual representation. \nFinding the Narrative by Joan Colbert\nA graduate of the University of Akron\, Joan has won numerous awards in both juried shows and art festivals. The Akron-Summit County Public Library owns work commissioned for branch libraries\, including the Mogadore\, North Hill and Goodyear branches. As the First Night® Akron 2001 button designer she created a mixed media piece: a whimsical skyline with a dove\, a peregrine falcon and a blackbird/jester. In 2019 Joan was honored with the Arts Alive Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Summit Artspace. \nJoan was gallery coordinator for the Summit Artspace Gallery from 2007 to 2013\, is a member of Artists of Rubber City and lives in the Highland Square area of Akron. Along with Open Studio events\, her home was featured in Artist in Residence – The West Hill Tour of Expressive Addresses. She has a studio in Summit Artspace on the first floor. \nwww.joancolbert.com \nABOUT SUMMIT ARTSPACE\nSummit Artspace is a non-profit arts organization that provides studio\, exhibit and programming spaces in Summit County and the surrounding area for local artists and arts organizations; and is a center for art education open to all residents.
