EXHIBITIONSTHE MUSEUM PROMOTES AN AWARENESS AND INTEREST IN MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART BY DISPLAYING, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, SIGNIFICANT OBJECTS OF HIGH ARTISTIC MERIT. THE PAST YEAR'S MAJOR EXHIBITS INCLUDED: MORE IS MORE, RESPONSIBILITY TO REVEAL, AND AFTERIMAGES. MORE IS MORE: VISUAL RICHNESS IN CONTEMPORARY ART SOMETIMES MINIMALIST ARTWORK IS ALL YOU NEED. YOU DIVE INTO A POOL OF COLOR OR FOCUS ON A SINGLE SHAPE AND FEEL COMPLETE. OTHER TIMES, YOU MAY WANT, WELL, MORE. MORE AND MORE GIVES VIEWERS JUST THAT. THE GALLERIES ARE BURSTING WITH RICH TEXTURE, LAYERED PATTERS, AND LOADS OF COLOR IN WORKS BY REGIONAL ARTISTS. THE EXHIBITION IS AN INVITATION TO TAKE YOUR TIME. LET YOUR EYE WANDER AS YOU FIND HIDDEN DETAILS IN THE WORK OF GAVIN BENJAMIN. IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO TOUCH THE DELICATE LACE IN KATY RICHARDS'S BLOOM. TRAVEL TO A FAR-OFF PLACE (OR IS IT A DREAM?) WITH AMBER KEMPTHORN'S NO ORDINARY BLUE. ALTHOUGH THESE ARTISTS USE DIFFERENT MEDIA (DRAWING, PAINTING, PRINT MAKING, SOMETIMES ALL THREE), AND DEAL WITH DIFFERENT SUBJECT MATTER (PORTRAITS, ABSTRACTION, INTERIORS), THEIR WORK IS UNITED IN THE RICHNESS OF WHAT IT OFFERS TO THE VIEWER'S SENSES. THIS GROUP OF ARTISTS IS ALSO UNITED BY GEOGRAPHY, ALL OF THEM LIVING AND WORKING IN OHIO, SOME PROBABLY NOT FAR FROM YOUR OWN BACKYARD. THIS EXHIBITION IS ORGANIZED BY THE AKRON ART MUSEUM AND SUPPORTED BY FUNDING FROM THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION, THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL, THE JOHN P. MURPHY FOUNDATION, MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, KATIE AND MARK SMUCKER, AND THE KENNETH L. CALHOUN CHARITABLE TRUST, KEYBANK, TRUSTEE.RESPONSIBILITY TO REVEAL: 30 YEARS OF THE KNIGHT PURCHASE AWARE FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDIA IN 1991, THE AKRON ART MUSEUM PURCHASED SIX BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS BY HARRY CALLAHAN. THIS WAS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF ACQUISITIONS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION PURCHASE AWARD FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDIA, ESTABLISHED IN 1990 THROUGH A GENEROUS GIFT FROM THE KNIGHT FOUNDATION. THE AWARD, WHICH PUBLICLY RECOGNIZES ARTISTS' ACHIEVEMENTS AND FUNDS THE MUSEUM'S PURCHASE OF THEIR WORK, IS GIVEN ROUGHLY ONCE A YEAR TO A LIVING ARTIST WORKING WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDIA. RESPONSIBILITY TO REVEAL SURVEYS THE 22 ARTISTS RECOGNIZED WITH THE KNIGHT PURCHASE AWARD OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES. AS A GROUP, THEY COVER AN EXPANSIVE RANGE. MANY ARE FROM THE UNITED STATES, BUT PRIZEWINNERS HAVE ALSO HAILED FROM AFRICA, ASIA, EUROPE, AND SOUTH AMERICA. SOME HAVE PRODUCED SMALL, INTIMATE, BLACK-AND-WHITE PICTURES, WHILE OTHERS HAVE CREATED ENORMOUS, WALL-SIZED COLOR PRINTS. THEIR WORK INCLUDES SELF-PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPES, FAMILY PICTURES, IMAGES OF CITY LIFE, AND CONCEPTUAL WORKS THAT EXPLORE THE NATURE OF PHOTOGRAPHY ITSELF. AMID THIS WIDE VARIETY, THE COMMON FACTOR AMONG THESE ARTISTS IS THAT EACH REFLECTED AN ESSENTIAL PART OF LIFE THROUGH THEIR WORK. COLLECTIVELY, THEY REPRESENT THE VERY BEST OF PHOTOGRAPHIC CREATIVITY OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS. AS A RESULT, RESPONSIBILITY TO REVEAL PROVIDES A DENSE AND EXCITING TOUR OF PHOTOGRAPHY'S RECENT PAST, WITH HINTS TOWARD ITS COMING FUTURE. IN THAT SPIRIT, A PARTICULARLY EXCITING ASPECT OF THE EXHIBITION IS THE UNVEILING OF WORK BY A NEW KNIGHT PURCHASE AWARD WINNER. THIS EXHIBITION IS ORGANIZED BY THE AKRON ART MUSEUM AND IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION, THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL, THE MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, THE JOHN P. MURPHY FOUNDATION, MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, AND THE KENNETH L. CALHOUN CHARITABLE TRUST, KEYBANK, TRUSTEE.AFTERIMAGES: GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTION AND PERCEPTION DURING THE 1960S AND '70S, MANY ABSTRACT ARTISTS MADE THEIR WORK BOLDER, BRIGHTER, AND NEWLY DAZZLING. FOR SOME OF THEM, SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES ABOUT HUMAN SIGHT LED THE WAY TO WILD PERCEPTUAL EFFECTS, FROM PULSATING PATTERNS TO FLUCTUATION COLORS AND AFTERIMAGES THAT DISTORT VISION. OTHERS WERE GUIDED SIMPLY BY THEIR INTUITION AND A DESIRE TO TEST THE LIMITS OF OUR EYES AND MINDS. AT TIMES THESE ARTISTS EVEN OUTPACED SCIENCE BY CREATING WORKS WITH UNANTICIPATED, UNEXPLAINED VISUAL PROPERTIES. AFTERIMAGES PRESENTS THIS ENERGETIC HISTORICAL PERIOD THROUGH PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES, PRINTS, AND EVEN A LARGE-SCALE IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION THAT ALLOWS VIEWERS TO ENTER A MAZE OF TRANSLUCENT COLORS. ALL THESE ARTWORKS ARE UNITED BY A COMMON DIRECTNESS. THEY WERE NOT MADE TO ILLUSTRATE COMPLICATED IDEAS OR TO EXPRESS HIDDEN EMOTIONS. INSTEAD, THEY EXIST PRIMARILY FOR THEIR IMPACT ON PERCEPTION, FOR THE VISUAL AND MENTAL EXPERIENCE THAT COMES SIMPLY FROM LOOKING AT THEM. THEIR EFFECTS ARE EXCITING, BEWILDERING, AND CAN EVEN FEEL OVERWHELMING, AND THEY ARE INTENDED TO BE CLEAR AND IMMEDIATELY ACCESSIBLE. AFTERIMAGES IS PRESENTED BY THE AKRON ART MUSEUM WITH PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CARL & MARILYNN THOMA ART FOUNDATION AND IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION, THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL, THE MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, THE JOHN P. MURPHY FOUNDATION, MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, AND THE KENNETH L. CALHOUN CHARITABLE TRUST, KEYBANK, TRUSTEE.OTHER NEW EXHIBITIONS THIS PAST YEAR INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:THE 10,000 THINGS BY JORDAN WONG THIS OUTDOOR EXHIBITION INTERWEAVES INSPIRATIONS FROM TRADITIONAL CHINESE PAINTING, JAPANESE MANGA AND ANIME, VIDEO GAMES AND COMIC BOOKS WITH GRAPHIC DESIGN, ICONOGRAPHIES, AND WONG'S PHILOSOPHICAL MUSINGS. THE WORK IS METAPHORICAL AS MUCH AS IT IS REFERENTIAL, CONTAINING THEMES OF PERSEVERANCE, TRIUMPH, BELONGING, AND GROWTH. THE 10,000 THINGSA TAOIST PHRASE USED TO REFERENCE AND DESCRIBE THE UNIVERSEEVOKES A JOURNEY TO CREATE ARTWORK THAT ASPIRES TO BE AS VIBRANT, IMMENSE, AND WONDERFULLY MYSTERIOUS AS EXISTENCE ITSELF. THE EXHIBITION, WONG SAYS, "AIMS TO INSPIRE, DELIGHT, AND ENCOURAGE VIEWERS TO GENEROUSLY LISTEN, LOOK, WONDER, CONTEMPLATE, PLAY, AND DREAM". VISITORS ARE INVITED TO ENJOY WONG'S LARGE-SCALE WORKS THROUGHOUT THE BUD AND SUSIE ROGERS GARDEN ALL SUMMER. THE ARTWORKS WILL ALSO SERVE AS INSPIRATION FOR FAMILY DAY EVENTS AND PROVIDE ADVENTURE THROUGH SELF-GUIDED SCAVENGER HUNTS.TOTALLY RAD: BOLD COLOR IN THE 1980S BUILT FROM THE AKRON ART MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION, TOTALLY RAD OFFERS A DAZZLING DIVE INTO THE VIBRANCY OF THE '80S. IN PETER DEAN'S HYPER-COLORED LANDSCAPE, EVERY FLOWER, FIELD, AND TREE IS A VIVID BURST OF ENERGY. NAM JUNE PAIK AND JACK GOLDSTEIN PLAY WITH THE GLOSSY APPEARANCE OF COLOR TVS AND DIGITAL SCREENS, CAPABLE OF TURNING FAR-FLUNG SIGNALS INTO LUMINOUS DISPLAYS. IN BOTH A SCULPTURE AND A PRINT, NANCY GRAVES LEAVES ANY FAMILIAR SENSE OF ORDER BEHIND AND MAKES WHIMSICAL POETRY OUT OF COLORS AND SHAPES. THE ROWDY CULTURE OF THE '80S HAS OFTEN BEEN REGARDED AS EXCESSIVE, BRASH, TASTELESS, AND EVEN EMBARRASSING, BUT THE ARTISTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN IT WOULD SURELY DISAGREE. THEIR WORK SHOWS THE FREEDOM AND FUN THAT CAN BE FOUND IN TESTING EVERY EXTREME POSSIBILITY THAT COLOR HAS TO OFFER. TOTALLY RADICAL: ART AND POLITICS IN THE 1980S DRAWN ENTIRELY FROM THE AKRON ART MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION, THE WORKS IN TOTALLY RADICAL SPAN THE DECADE'S FLASHPOINTS. ROBERT FRANK'S PHOTOJOURNALISM CAPTURES SURPRISING SCENES FROM THE FRINGES OF THE AMERICAN POLITICAL PROCESS. DAWOUD BEY AND KEN HEYMAN'S PHOTOGRAPHS PORTRAY THE RICH INNER LIVES OF BLACK AND GAY PEOPLE, RESPECTIVELY. DANIEL MAINZER'S PICTURES HIGHLIGHT THE STRENGTH AND DEDICATION OF FACTORY WORKERS IN AKRON. ULTIMATELY, THESE ARTISTS DID NOT MERELY WISH TO MAKE THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES MORE VISIBLE. INSTEAD, THEY HOPED THAT THEIR WORK WOULD SHARE VITAL AND EVEN DEEPLY PERSONAL CONCERNS WITH THE PUBLIC. THEY INSISTED THAT THEIR VOICES BE HEARD. AS ART MUSEUMS AND AMERICAN SOCIETY AS A WHOLE SEEK BROADER CONVERSATIONS ABOUT JUSTICE AND EQUITY IN THE PRESENT, WE CAN LOOK BACK AND LEARN FROM THEIR EXAMPLE. (CONTD.)

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE MAKING YOUR MARK THIS NEW EXHIBITION OFFERS A PANOPLY OF FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP. MANY OF THE ARTISTS EMPLOY EVERYDAY TOOLS TO ACCOMPLISH EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS. ANDREA MYERS, FOR EXAMPLE, TRANSFORMS SCRAP FABRIC INTO AN OCEAN OF TEXTURE. HER WORK, BLUE SEEMS, IS AT ONCE ABSTRACT AND EVOCATIVE, REMINISCENT OF SWEEPING SEAS OR KITES IN THE SKY. CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS THE ARTIST'S HANDIWORK, WITH COUNTLESS STITCHES THROUGH MULTIPLE LAYERS OF FABRIC. THIS EXHIBITION INCLUDES WORKS BY NINE REGIONAL ARTISTS, INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYING THEIR CRAFT TO ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY AND WAS ON DISPLAY THROUGH MARCH 14, 2021. EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMMING IN THE MARY S. AND DAVID C. CORBIN FOUNDATION GALLERY, INCLUDING THE LIVE CREATIVE STUDIO, ARE MADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROM THE MARY S. AND DAVID C. CORBIN FOUNDATION WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM ALAN AND JANICE WOLL FAMILY FUND, SYNTHOMER FOUNDATION, PEG'S FOUNDATION, ROBERT O. AND ANNAMAE ORR FAMILY FOUNDATION, CHARLES E. AND MABEL M. RICHIE FOUNDATION, MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM H. CONSIDINE, AND THE KENNETH L. CALHOUN CHARITABLE TRUST, KEYBANK, TRUSTEE. RECONSIDERED: WORKS FROM THE COLLECTION THE AKRON ART MUSEUM HOLDS MORE THAN 7000 ARTWORKS THOUGH ONLY 1% ARE ON VIEW. VISITORS MIGHT WONDER WHY MUSEUMS LEAVE SO MUCH OF THEIR COLLECTION IN STORAGE. WHILE MUSEUMS ARE MISSION-DRIVEN TO DISPLAY WORKS FOR VISITORS, THEIR DUAL MISSION IS TO PRESERVE COLLECTIONS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. IN THIS EXHIBITION, WE'RE ASKING FOR HELP FROM OUR VIRTUAL GUESTS TO CHOOSE THEIR FAVORITE WORKS FROM STORAGE AND HELP US TELL STORIES ABOUT THEM. WE'LL SHOWCASE THE STORIES THEY SHARE, WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE WAY WE COMMUNICATE ABOUT ART TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS EXHIBITION IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION, THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL, THE JOHN P. MURPHY FOUNDATION, THE MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, AND THE KENNETH L. CALHOUN CHARITABLE TRUST, KEYBANK, TRUSTEE. CONTINUUM: HISTORICAL RESONANCES IN CONTEMPORARY ART CONTINUUM BRINGS FIVE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS INTO THE MCDOWELL GALLERY TO ENCOURAGE VISITORS TO RECONSIDER OUR HISTORIC COLLECTIONS. WHILE THE GALLERY ESSENTIALLY RETAINS ITS CHARACTER, EACH PAIRING HOPES TO GROUND THE CONTEMPORARY WORKS IN OLDER TRADITIONS WHILE HIGHLIGHTING THE INNOVATIONS OF THE HISTORICAL WORKS. ALL ART WAS ONCE CONTEMPORARY. WHILE MANY VISITORS LAUD THE BEAUTY OF 19TH-CENTURY LANDSCAPES, HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS IN MUSEUMS LOSE MUCH OF THEIR ORIGINAL CONTEXT. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THEIR TIME GEORGE INNESS'S UNPOLISHED SURFACES WERE CUTTING EDGE. CONTINUUM HELPS REMIND VISITORS OF SOME OF THE INNOVATIONS OF PAST MASTERS. LIKEWISE, CONTEMPORARY ART IS NOT CREATED IN A VACUUM. ARTISTS WORKING TODAY DRAW ON PAST MASTERS IN BOTH SUBJECT MATTER AND TECHNIQUE. IN THE INSTALLATION, INNESS IS PAIRED WITH CLEVELAND ARTIST LORI KELLA, WHOSE USE OF MEDIA IS EQUALLY INNOVATIVE. KELLA DIGITALLY PHOTOGRAPHS HAND-CONSTRUCTED DIORAMAS, FOCUSING, LIKE INNESS, ON THE NATURAL WORLD. TAKEN TOGETHER, THE PAIR HIGHLIGHTS HOW ARTISTS BALANCE PICTORIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF NATURE WITH TECHNICAL EXPLORATION. THIS EXHIBITION IS SUPPORTED BY THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION, THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL, MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, AND THE KENNETH L. CALHOUN CHARITABLE TRUST, KEYBANK, TRUSTEE. REFLECTIONS ON PERCEPTION THE EXHIBITION INVITES VIEWERS TO EXPLORE HOW ARTISTS USE A VARIETY OF SURFACES, FROM PLACID LAKES TO THE METAL AND GLASS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, TO MAKE DRAMATIC SCENES. JUST AS MAGICIANS FOOL THE EYE WITH MIRRORS, ARTISTS SOMETIMES USE REFLECTIVE SURFACES TO CREATE COMPLEX COMPOSITIONS. THIS EXHIBITION IS ORGANIZED BY THE AKRON ART MUSEUM AND SUPPORTED BY FUNDING FROM THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION, THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL, MARY AND DR. GEORGE L. DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST, AND KATIE AND MARK SMUCKER. GOOD HOPE BY MUTI - THE CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA-BASED ILLUSTRATORS OF MUTI SHARE VIGNETTES FROM HOME IN THEIR INSTALLATION, GOOD HOPE, WHICH DERIVES FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF SOUTH AFRICA, WHICH WAS AN IMPORTANT LANDMARK FOR SEAFARERS. MUTI DRAWS ON THE SPIRIT OF EXPLORATION WITH A SERIES OF PICTORIAL SNAPSHOTS OR POSTCARDS FROM THEIR HOMELAND, COMBINING EQUAL PARTS HUMOR, WONDER, AND VISUAL APPEAL. VIEWERS CAN EXPLORE A VARIETY OF TALES, INCLUDING A GHOST SHIP, CITY-DWELLING BABOONS, AND THE BEAUTY OF OCEAN CURRENTS. THIS EXHIBITION IS MADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROM THE MARY S. AND DAVID C. CORBIN FOUNDATION, ALAN AND JANICE WOLL FAMILY FUND, PEG'S FOUNDATION, AND THE MARY AND DR. GEORGE L DEMETROS CHARITABLE TRUST.
