Akron Society of Artists

For nearly 95 years, artists in Northeast Ohio have been gathering to create,connect and grow as members of the Akron Society of Artists (ASA), one of Ohio’s oldest art organizations.  ASA serves artists of all ages and stages of development, from novice to professional.

Over the years they’ve built a solid reputation as a place for artistic growth and excellence.  With weekly programs, Friday morning figure drawing sessions and a seasonal plein airpainting group, ASA is dedicated to the creation and appreciation of art.

This show was curated from those Friday figure drawing sessions where models are brought in and drawn or painted from live observation.  All the work in this show was initiated during these sessions.  Some of the pieces are completed work from this time, but some have been further completed in the artists studio based on their work started during the live observation.

ASA meets at the Mustard Seed Cafe most every Friday for figure sessions from 10 AM – 1 PM.  Members and non-members are welcome to come draw or paint from the live models, with a small fee that is used to pay for the subjects time.
