Rooted Akron, The W.O.M.B., The Big Love Network, Grateful 4 Grace, & The Gathering, with support from Neighborhood Network of University Park (NNUP), Middlebury Better Block, Akron City Repair, Food Not Bombs & ArtsNow, present Envision Akron Middlebury taking place at The W.O.M.B. Community Garden (corner of East Market Street & South Arlington Road) on June 12 from noon to 5 p.m.

What would happen if the leveraging power of forming partnerships & alliances was used to transform communities from the inside out? What if visions of what a community desires, needs, dreams, & aspires to be were heard? What would our community look like if people were empowered to be agents of change?

Envision Akron Middlebury is a community driven movement for the people by the people of Akron. Together, we will visualize, express, discuss, & begin to implement how & where the roots of this beloved city can grow while celebrating what we have already created.

Envision Akron Middlebury aims to be an entirely interactive event engaging community members through different forms of expression. Workshops, conversation, performance, art, & music enable event-goers to safely develop & creatively express their visions of how Akron can continue to transform into the community we truly desire. This event also offers a free BBQ for all in attendance.

Envision Akron Middlebury is seen as an innovative avenue for increased community engagement leading up to the Middlebury Better Block & Akron City Repair.

Envision Akron is free and open to everyone. Please join us on June 12!
