At Saturday's Chalk Fest, we took a moment to observe the 20th year since 9/11 with a special performance by Summit Choral Society of the national anthem, alongside meaningful chalk art by Ron White.
TODAY is the final day of our Chalk Fest! There’s still time to enjoy the festivities and grab some chalk to make your own square!
Join us until 5pm today, and stop inside to visit our artist studios and galleries.

Congratulations to our very own Natalie Grieshammer, who was recently promoted to Director of Artist Resources! She will now be at Summit Artspace in a full-time capacity to focus on strategies for resourcing artists. We are so thrilled as this is the first time in our organization’s history that we have had a second full-time professional alongside the Executive Director. Natalie’s extensive experience as an arts administrator has been instrumental as Summit Artspace has grown and changed this year. She has spearheaded many positive changes to the building and has dedicated herself to revamping our galleries and exhibitions since she started in March. We are so excited to see her thrive in her new role, and are so lucky to have her on our team!

Bradley Hart of Hart Photographic (studio artist here at Summit Artspace) writes the following about his new work in this video: "The pandemic suddenly forced us all into seclusion & separation from our communities, sentencing us to oceans of time in solitude. Outside the typical routine of sleep/wake/work/repeat, we've been challenged with the responsibility of either making use of this gift or squandering it. Wanting to play with that loss of clarity, weighty angst, and hopeful chance, I created this series of photographs illustrating that singular measure of the abstract, the timepiece." Thought-provoking work, Bradley! #SummitArtspace #PlacesForTheCreative #LocalArtists #AkronOhio #AkronArtwalk #Virtual #StudioArtist #AkronArtist #Tenants #SACreativeCommunity

Artist Carolyn Hanson of #StowOH talks about the inspiration for her found object assemblage and collage entitled "Evidence of Sun before the Storm." She was awarded an honorable mention in the Whether to Weather Juried Art Exhibition at #SummitArtspace on East Market. Free admission. Open today, 12-5 pm. See our exhibit listing at summitartspace.org/event. Artist Statement: Weathered objects harbor stories. They vibrate with the deeper frequency of life. They have scars, character and often grit. Behind this weathered frame, I discovered an empty mat with ‘Ron + Bird 67’ printed in faded red. Like a secret that begged to be recognized. Reminiscent of something lovers would carve in a tree. I fleshed out the story with an altered photo collage. The title of the piece is a nod to the frequent use of weather as a metaphor for life’s joys & trials. (Eg, When it Rains, it Pours. Her head was in a fog. He was the sunshine of their life). I like to think that Ron and Bird shared days of joy and sunshine before the dark clouds gathered.
