The Passes
The Akron Art Museum features artwork produced from 1850 to today with a commitment to engage with current, pressing issues in their full complexity and nuance. That focus animates both the building of the permanent collection and the creation of special exhibitions. To achieve this vision the Akron Art Museum follows these principles: supports artists who have historically been marginalized; champions artists whose artwork expands, redefines, or rejects traditional mediums; and promotes and displays the work of regional artists. Most importantly, adhering to the curatorial vision makes good on the Museum’s promise that all visitors feel welcome and see themselves reflected in its programming.
Children’s museums are places where children learn through play and exploration in environments created just for them. Reflecting their diverse communities, children’s museums create playful, interactive learning experiences. In an increasingly complex world, children’s museums provide a place where kids and their families can experience learning and playing together.
