An annual art show in Warren, Ohio, called “Black and White on Park,” is accepting submissions of black-and-white artwork for its upcoming exhibit. Artists of all ages and skill levels were invited to submit up to three pieces—including photography, painting, and sculpture—on Sunday afternoon from noon to 3 p.m. The show is organized by the Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County and will hold its opening reception on Friday, June 5, at 6 p.m. at the Art on Park building.
This event matters because it demonstrates how local art councils foster community engagement by removing barriers to participation—no color required, no age or skill limits. It highlights the role of small-town art shows in making visual art accessible to everyone, reinforcing that creativity thrives outside major metropolitan art scenes.
