Akron Soul Train celebrates 10th anniversary with show by alumni

Akron Soul Train is marking its first decade of operations with a major group exhibition titled "Together, Here," which brings together 55 alumni artists and former members. The anniversary celebration coincides with the debut of a solo installation by Maddie McSweeney, the organization's 2026 Emerging Series Artist, titled "Untitled (Jam) pt. 2."

This milestone highlights the growth of the Akron-based residency program and its impact on the local creative economy over the last ten years. By showcasing a vast array of past residents alongside new emerging talent, the organization reinforces its role as a vital incubator for contemporary art in the region.
