The show opens in the Summit Artspace main first floor gallery on Thursday, Nov. 20, at noon, for in-person visits. Admission is free. Weekly gallery hours are Thursday and Friday, 12- 7 p.m.; and Saturday, 12-5 p.m. Summit Artspace on East Market is located at 140 E. Market St., Akron. Tickets are highly recommended but not required.

Gallery visitors will be able to vote for their favorite artist to win the People’s Choice Award, a working kaleidoscope designed and hand-blown by glass artist, Bob Pozarski Ohio Art Glass. The winner will be announced at the end of the show on the Summit Artspace website.
