The show, “Barberton: Then and Now Photography Exhibition,” gives photographers a digital canvas to visualize the “Magic City.” Neighborhoods in our towns, villages and cities are often reflections of the areas and people who make it distinctive.
Barberton: Then and Now runs from August 24 to October 13, 2018. There is an opening with the photographers on Friday, August 24, 5-8 p,m, for Barberton 4th Friday. Check back here at our site for information about a panel discussion with photographers. Exhibit and events are free and open to the public.
The gallery at Summit Artspace on Tusc is open during the exhibition dates every Friday, 5-8 p.m., and Saturday, 12-5 p.m. Check our Plan Your Visit page for details.
The neighborhoods in Barberton have told and continue to tell a story of pride, growth and rebirth. These elements of community can also be the reflection of time that has stood still.
Neighborhoods and how they are seen are as unique as the artists who tell their stories through photographs. To honor the importance of Barberton in Summit County, local artists have been invited to enter photography highlighting Barberton for this show.
Photographs may reflect:
Characteristics that make a neighborhood distinctive
The actualities of living in a neighborhood
Reflections of the passion, pride, hope or despair as captured by the artist
Historical photographs of Barberton will be also be on display. Residents have loaned photos of Barberton “back then” for the exhibition to show new generations of Magic City residents the history of an important locale in Northeast Ohio.
