Celebrate and honor Akron area artists during Summit Artspace’s virtual Arts Alive Awards announcement and Art Auction!

The Arts Alive Awards were created in 2001 to recognize gifted artists, art educators, and change-making advocates and volunteers with an inspiring celebration of achievement. As we strive to recover and reconnect, artists are essential—and they need our support like never before.

COST: There is NO CHARGE for this virtual awards announcement; however, donations at every level are welcome. 100 percent of your donation will help artists thrive professionally, creatively, and financially by supporting Summit Artspace’s artist-centered programs, community exhibitions, and affordable artist studios.

EVENT PAGE: Once registered, you’ll receive an email confirming your order, which will include a link to the online event page where you can watch the awards ceremony. You’ll receive email reminders prior to the event.

ARTS ALIVE AUCTION: In celebration of the arts and in support of Summit Artspace, bid on incredible artworks by local artists during our Arts Alive virtual art auction. A free event, the auction will take place with early bird and regular bidding beginning June 1st and ending at midnight, June 17th. All proceeds will benefit Summit Artspace’s mission and the artists they serve.
