Summit Artspace Gallery is once again challenging area artists to flex their creative muscles in its annual juried exhibition called Fresh Art, which will be April 30 through June 5.
Summa Foundation is sponsoring prizes of $500, $300 and $200 for the top three winners of this show featuring artworks created in the last 18 months that reflect novel thinking, original styles, different directions and interesting new materials.
Artists who live, work or attend universities in Summit, Portage and Medina Counties are invited to submit works at the gallery on April 22 from noon to 7 p.m. It is at 140 E. Market St., one block from the Akron Art Museum. Only one entry is allowed per person, and there is a $10 entry fee. Works should be display ready. More details and an application form are available at www.summitartspace.org or by calling 330-376-8480.
This year's judges are married couple Clare Murray-Adams and John T. Adams.
This is the gallery's sixth Fresh Art exhibit. The show attracts works in a wide variety of media by young, emerging artists, arts educators and established artists.
The public is invited to a meet-the-artists reception on April 30 from 5 to 7 p.m., where the winners will be announced.
