So much variety in one place. Unique items from a variety of artists. Since items are a little pricey but it's always worth a visit. Gets really crowded at special events and close to the holidays.

A major jewel in Downtown Akron, I've been coming here off and on for over 30 years and I've never been disappointed. The prices are reasonable and all of the nuts are fresh.

We attended a glass blowing class and made two ornaments that could be used on a Christmas tree or displayed all year round. There were lots of colors to choose from. Our instructors, Sebastian and Nate were awesome! They gave good instruction and ensured everyone was safe and made beautiful keepsakes. Well worth the cost of the class!

This gallery has a wide variety of items from all kinds of local artists in a loosely displayed setting. You will pay for the art, not the show here. Akrona offers a framing service, which is done very professionally, and staff does a good job of making recommendations for the framing and matting choices.
