Curatorial Approach

Curated Storefront works with regional, national, and internationally known artists of all backgrounds and in all career stages to create a collection of art installations that improve the vibrancy of downtown Akron. This approach lifts the entire arts ecosystem of our region, helps to gain visibility for the artists who live and work here, and moves us closer to our long-term vision of making Akron a true destination for arts tourism.

We use a variety of methods–calls for proposals, curatorial research and studio visits, meetings with universities–to find artists and employ them as part of our vision. Artists who are interested in working with Curated Storefront should reach out via our contact page.
