The Outlined in Black Exhibition is Akron Black Artist Guild’s signature event. It brings together artists, art enthusiasts, and cultural advocates in a shared space to engage, learn from each other, and celebrate the richness and diversity of Black art and culture. It is an exhibition of immense importance in the art and culture community, particularly for artists here in Akron. It provides a much-needed platform for these artists in various art disciplines to showcase their talents, express their creativity, and share their stories with the community.

Outlined in Black is in its third year, and we’re excited to partner with Akron Soul Train Gallery. The call for artists opens in late August and ends on September 21. This exhibit not only invites new artists to apply, but also anticipates new works and concepts from previous artists, sparking curiosity and eagerness.

It’s essential to support specific platforms like Outlined in Black, which celebrate diversity, inclusion, and representation in the arts and ensure that all voices are heard and appreciated. In a society where the contributions of Black artists have often been marginalized or overlooked, events like Outlined in Black play a crucial role in amplifying their voices and highlighting their creative talents. Your support and engagement are not just appreciated, but they are essential to this mission.

The opening reception 6 to 8:30 pm on Friday, October 11, at Akron Soul Train Gallery, 191 South Main Street, will be a night to remember. It’s a time to enjoy beautiful art, live entertainment, and good eats to kick off the exhibition, which will be up until November 9.
