Featured in this opening reception will be AST residents Joshua Eiskamp and Charisse Mae Harris. Both artists’ work will be displayed throughout the month. 

Josh Eiskamp is an abstract painter living in Seven Hills, Ohio, who has worked in the arts for many years as an instructor at Lorain County Community College, as a Director of Sales for West Shore Frames, and as the Curator at the Malvina J. Freedson Gallery. 

Charisse Mae Harris is a mixed-media artist born and raised in Akron, OH. She currently lives and works in Columbus, OH. After receiving her MFA from Kent State University in 2016, she has participated in a number of exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and curatorial pursuits.

Save the date for January 10, which will feature the opening reception for Christi Birchfield, a print and sculpture artist from Cleveland who was Akron Soul Train’s November artist in residence.
