Other local artists and their shows:
from Aof RC:

Tammy Jo Fuller and Gary Fossaceca have pieces in the new "Toying with Imagination" exhibition at the Akron Art Museum! The exhibition is in the Corbin Gallery and includes 100 or so photos taken with toy cameras. The show runs through January 11, 2009. Museum hours are: Tuesday through Sunday - 11AM - 5PM, Thursday - 11AM - 9PM, Closed Mondays. It is a great exhibition and features a glass showcase with some vintage toy cameras on display. We hope you'll all be able to go!!!
Gary has some pieces hanging at the Viking Vineyards Winery on Old Forge Road in Kent. His work will be displayed in the Lake View Hospitality Room beginning the first week of November. Several other artists are included in this exhibition, too.
To get to the winery take I-76 east to exit 532 (exit #29 - Mogadore, Tallmadge), turn right on 532, turn left at the first light (Newton) and Viking Vineyards is about a mile down on the right... There is a sign directing you to the winery. The driveway back to the winery is a one-lane gravel road.
The hours are: Tues. thru Thurs. 5PM to 9PM, Fri. & Sat. Noon to 11PM, Sunday 1PM to 8PM. The wine here is amazing - especially the Red Kiss which is a chocolate-flavored red wine. They have some new wines, too - including an ice wine which is available for tasting. Let us know if you're going out and maybe we'll meet you. Gary's work should be up for a month. Thanks and we hope you can make it out!

Haunted!!

Creative Ghosts & Goblins Fill Summit Artspace
for Halloween Weekend

(Akron, OH) – Ghosts and goblins will be truly creative this Halloween weekend thanks to a scary group of Akron area artists. Eight top professional artists and four young, emerging artists have put their devilish talents together to build an eerie art installation called Haunted Artspace. It will be open to the public Friday, October 31and Saturday, November 1 noon to 9 pm and November 6-8 noon to 5 pm at Summit Artspace, 140 E. Market Street. Admission is a $2 donation.

Members of the creative coven are Mark Soppeland, Donna Webb, Joseph Blue Sky, Joan Colbert, Laura Bidwell, Leandra Drumm, Inda Blatch-Geib, Miller Horns plus art students Dan Coffield, Kevin Smalley, Rachel Gentner and Bonnie Stipe.

This is not the typical haunted house with costumed chainsaw killers and axe murderers jumping out from dark corners. These talented people have used their refined aesthetic sensibilities to create a true work of art that just happens to be very mysterious. Visitors will wend their ways through a creative world of creepy corners, cupboards and crevices. The installation is made possible with contributions from FirstEnergy Foundation and University Park Alliance. The building is in the University Park neighborhood.

Also on display at Summit Artspace is Fresh & Spooky, a gallery exhibition of 91 frightening works of art created by artists from Summit, Portage and Medina Counties. Sponsored by OMNOVA Solutions Foundation, this exhibition is free. On Saturday, November 8 from 1-3 pm, artist Ardyse Mund will present a free workshop titled Looking Closely at Trees.

Summit Artspace is located at the corner of E. Market and Summit Streets, one block from the Akron Art Museum. Established in 2002, it is a project of the Akron Area Arts Alliance in cooperation with Summit County government. Its gallery presents seven exhibitions per year and is dedicated to displaying works by local artists. There is free parking behind the building off Summit Street.
