For more than 90 years, artists of northeast Ohio have gathered to paint, draw and learn as the Akron Society of Artists (ASA). One of Ohio’s oldest and most active art organizations, ASA serves artists of all ages and stages of development – from student to novice to professional. Through the years, the organization has built a solid reputation as a venue for artistic growth and excellence. Members grow from being part of its artistic community and the variety of arts-related activities it provides.
ASA hosts weekly meetings with member critiques, technique demonstrations, and art history presentations on Wednesdays, and live model sessions on Fridays
. From April through October, artists also gather on Tuesdays to paint landscapes en plein air.
Dedicated to education, ASA offers nationally acclaimed artist workshops throughout the year and members have the first opportunity to register. Our website’s Member Directory page links directly to member’s websites and our Facebook and Instagram pages give our artists a broad social media platform in which to post their work, upcoming exhibits, classes and workshops.
Whether you’re an emerging artist or an established professional, ASA provides the resources, inspiration, and community to help you grow!
The group meets at:
Mustard Seed Market, 2nd Floor Community Room
867 West Market Street, Akron OH 44303
