Carrie Burnett+FollowAkron’s art scene shines with McMoore’s storyAlfred McMoore’s art is turning heads at the Akron Art Museum—not just for its sheer size, but for the raw emotion and real-life stories behind every line. His massive scrolls and intimate sketches offer a window into his world, shaped by schizophrenia and everyday encounters in Akron. There’s something deeply moving about seeing the people and moments that inspired him, especially knowing he influenced the name of the Black Keys. This exhibit is more than art—it’s a piece of Akron’s soul. Who else feels like local art can reveal sides of our city we rarely see? #Entertainment #Painting #AkronArt00Share
qwilson+FollowAkron Soul Train’s new shows redefine artArt in Akron just got a lot more fascinating! Akron Soul Train is hosting two new exhibits that invite everyone to see creativity in a whole new light. Saelyx Finna’s project dives into the mysteries of dreams and even lets you record your own on the Akron Dream Hotline. Meanwhile, PJ Hargraves—aka The Fruit Man—brings his love for urban farming indoors with a vibrant “joy garden” of ceramics inspired by his crops. Both shows are open now through February 21. Which exhibit are you most curious to experience, and how do you think art can shape our community? #Entertainment #AkronArt #SoulTrain00Share
