This week we took some time away from event-making and left our park boundaries to meet up with our friends and collaborators. This time, we have of the Akron Municipal Court to thank for organizing an informative conversation with .chavers.3 of the GAR Foundation. We learned more about their grant making process and impressive capital funding supports. Thanks ladies - you put the capstone on our week and gave us lots to think about 😀

"Look at what we've built together," says Nicole Mullet of ArtsNow. We absolutely dig the 360 approach towards building up arts and culture in greater Akron. It supports our creatives, bolsters our economy, and makes our daily lives more interesting and fun! Congratulations to .philon and for your well earned honors. We are lucky to have your leadership inspire new opportunities for creative expression and look forward to being part of what's next!

And, a special nod to our fearless Summit Metro Parks leader and ArtsNow Board Chair, Lisa King. Under her guidance, more opportunities continue to grow that connect people to place to culture to nature. It all makes us stronger.
