EXHIBIT: Annual Kent- Stark Art Alumni Exhibition, at the William J. & Pearl F. Lemmon Visiting Artist Gallery, located in the Fine Arts building, Kent State University Stark Campus – 6000 Frank Avenue NW, North Canton, Ohio / through October 10, 2025/ viewing hours Monday-Thursday 8a.m. to 6p.m., Fridays 8a.m. to 3p.m

   Heads up! This gathering of 37 works from 22 artists – either former Kent Stark art class students, or current or former Stark art department faculty members (regardless of discipline) – is certainly one of the most exciting local group shows I’ve seen this year.

   Here’s a veritable contemporary wellspring of remarkably diverse content, styles, skills and materials: painting, drawing, printmaking, digital, stoneware, mixed media assemblage.

    OK yeah, I’m in it too. Don’t let that stop you. Just know I’m genuinely grateful for the invitation to join such impressive art makers as these. So if you’re looking for really good reasons to come and look at this immersive treasure of an exhibit, I’ll give you 22: Emily Bartolone, Phillip Buntin, Noah DiRuzza, Faith Emerson, Andrew Foradas, Aaron Foster, Samuel Gentile, Bill Govan, Sheri Hornbrook, Christine Janson, Phoenix Keane, Erin Kelly, Eleanor Dillon Kuder, Jeff Leadbetter, Mary Mazzer, Maria McDonald, Jessica Morton, Julianne Nipple, Stephanie Piscitello, Stephen Tornero, Tom Wachunas, David Whiteman.

   Happy hunting.
