Sat 5/27 @ noon-8PM

The City of Akron and an organization called Black Artist Experience are co-hosting a first-time event called the Black Excellence Arts Festival, taking place in the city’s Hardesty Park.

It’s described as “a community driven festival that combines a variety of fine arts and cultural experiences into a single day to inspire, support and showcase black artists.” The festival’s offerings will include art installations, interactive art activities, talks, food pop-ups, live music by Cleveland’s Unit Experience Project, spoken word performances, line dancing, hip hop aerobics, wellness sessions and educational information. And bring the kids — there’s free face painting from 1-3pm!

The event is free and open to all.
