Unveiled: Recent Acquisitions from the Museum’s Collection
Every Tuesday thru Sunday, August 30 – November 30, 2008

Nearly 700 works of art entered the Akron Art Museum’s collection over the past five years, despite the fact that the museum was closed from March 2004-July 2007 for construction of its new building.  Some of this art made its Akron debut when the museum opened the new collection galleries, but many works remain under wraps for now, waiting to surprise visitors over the next few years.  Unveiled offers the opportunity to view around two dozen inspiring, and sometimes challenging, artworks never before seen in Akron. From black and white photographs to colorful prints, abstract painting to pop sculpture, Unveiled shows that recent gifts of artwork have come in all shapes, sizes and media.  This exhibition enables the museum to publicly thank all of its supporters for their generosity and dedication to building and enriching the collection.
