Justin makes paintings, drawings, and interactive sculptures that allow him to explore themes of play, wonder, and the sublime. The work speaks of adventure and adapting to the unexpected.
Justin’s work is made from the materials that he comes upon or seeks out. He tinkers and explores. The results are blatantly homemade, producing an awkward situation.
I use what I use to do what I do to get done what I need to get done.

Stories pairs handmade artist books by Elena Bouvier and bottled drawings by Len Cowgill. Their work is intimate — visualizations of openness and containment. Both artists tell stories in a poetic visual shorthand that encourages an imaginative shared experience.

I came to book arts the long way around, through photography.
Shine is affirming, celebratory, in the moment, and reassuring. In this solo show, printmaker Rebecca Gilbert builds narratives through natural imagery. We pause in the beauty that surrounds us — we rethink to what we attach value. Exploring the concept of trial and error, Gilbert considers the experiment the real treasure. Shine examines the value in process.
A talk with Yaddo President Elaina Richardson.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation recently awarded Yaddo a major grant to fund residencies for artists from their eight key cities, including Akron. This presentation for our local artists is part of a national effort by Yaddo to identify and recruit eight of the highest-level talented artists from those cities, with special efforts dedicated to underrepresented communities and emerging art forms.
cWOW's annual Metro Show is one of the oldest and most respected juried small works exhibitions in the metro region.
