Akron Soul Train awards short-term residencies to artists in all disciplines to produce specific projects. Its winter residency exhibitions, currently running, feature work by Cleveland poet/visual artist Raja Belle Freeman, the other showcasing mixed-media work by Pittsburgh native/Cleveland resident Debra DeGregorio.
Freeman’s show, Consider This Your Trigger Warning, takes a political stance, contrasting the beauty of the Black man and the respect he deserves with his public destruction by society. Debra DeGregorio’s show co≈rrelate aims to demonstrate “the contents of the mind in a windstorm,” incorporating drawing, collage and “micro installations” of string, paper and pins.
The shows close this week, and Akron Soul Train will be hosting a closing reception. The event will also feature the announcement of its 2024 artists in residence recipients. It’s free and open to all.
