SUMMARY:Little-Seen Akron Outsider Artist Gets a Major Show at Akron Art Mu
 seum
DESCRIPTION:\nFri 9/19 @ 7-8:30PM\nSat 9/20 @ 11AM-5PM\nAlfred McMoore (195
 0-2009) was an Akron resident who had schizophrenia. He was also a dedicat
 ed artist who worked every day on the giant pencil drawings he created on 
 scrolls of paper five feet high and as long as fifty feet. Although there 
 has been a surge of interest in this type of “outsider” art (art creat
 ed by untrained individuals often outside the mainstream of society)\, McM
 oore’s work was difficult to show because of their size.\nThe Akron Art 
 Museum is now remedying that with a new show titled Alfred McMoore: All Th
 is Luck In My Head\, which should make the artist better known in his home
 town. The centerpiece of a show featuring previously unseen work will be a
  scroll donated to the museum 30 years ago by Akron collector/antiques dea
 ler Chuck Auerbach\, who was friends with McMoore and who co-wrote a piece
  on him with Akron Beacon Journal reporter Jim Carnery in 2000. The two me
 n’s sons formed the band The Black Keys\, named after an expression McMo
 ore used. The title of this show is another of his distinctive expressions
 .\n The show will open to the public on Saturday September 20. But there 
 is an opening celebration the evening before with music\, art-making oppor
 tunities and a photo booth\, with a cash bar available. It’s free to mem
 bers\, $20 to others.\n akronartmuseum/alfred-mcmoore-all-this-luck-in-my
