Curated Storefront, Quaker Square at the University of Akron
135 S Broadway St. Akron, OH 44308
Visiting Hours
Thurs: 11am–8pm

Quaker Square is the former factory of the iconic American brand Quaker Oats. Built in 1886, the factory ceased production in 1970; the building is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Although threatened with demolition, the site has undergone a series of transformations, reemerging over the years as a luxury hotel, a shopping mall, and college dorms for the University of Akron. Mostly shuttered since the early 2000s, for FRONT 2022 this landmark of the Akron skyline features work by three artists that explore history and regeneration: Alyssa Taylor Wendt, Chakaia Booker, and Charmaine Spencer. The Quaker Galleries at Quaker Square are presented by Curated Storefront.

Akron Art Museum
1 S High St. Akron, OH 44308
Visiting Hours
Wed–Sun: 11am–5pm
FRONT 2022’s presentation at the Akron Art Museum builds on its central theme of art as a mode of transformation, therapy, and healing through a focus on craft, which is a creative process tied to the artist’s hand and body, a form of thinking through making and doing. Spanning generations and geographies, the exhibition explores craft’s close ties to the spiritual and the everyday, relationships that can be seen throughout history and across cultures and religious traditions. And inspired by craft’s etymological origins in ideas of skill and strength, the exhibition foregrounds the therapeutic value of a repetitive daily practice of making, a modality through which one can process personal and collective grief, endure hardship and suffering, and overcome immediate and unresolved traumas.

Tear-Ez, Jukebox, and The Feve are bars in Akron, Cleveland, and Oberlin respectively that each represent a kind of “third place”—significant spaces apart from work or home where different communities intersect. The conversations within such watering holes can also provide fertile ground for often-invisible artistic dialogue and the more celebrated work that emerges from them.

Audra Skuodas Studio
Visiting Hours By Registration Only*
Register Here
Born in Lithuania on March 24, 1940, the painter Audra Skuodas was seventy-eight when she passed away in early 2019. Skuodas was a prolific, almost compulsive, artist, producing thousands of paintings, works on paper, embroideries, books, and objects in her ground-floor studio located in a converted warehouse in downtown Oberlin. For her, art was a daily practice, a spiritual and philosophical endeavor through which she tried to make sense of the cosmos and her place in it and sought to overcome childhood traumas, including six years spent in a refugee camp after the Second World War and before her arrival in the US in 1949.
