ArtWorks BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP SPOTLIGHT

STATE AND FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS INC.

State and Federal Communications Staff
Elizabeth Z. Bartz, President and CEO

Why does your business support the Akron Art Museum?

We have always chosen to be a part of what is happening in Akron. The Museum’s recent programs have been a highlight for many of our staff.

What benefit of Art Works Business Membership do you most appreciate?

We enjoy being included in the creative hub of artwork happening in Akron. Mingling with fellow Akron Art Museum supporters is beneficial to all involved, as is meeting the artists when they are able to attend openings. Sharing the Museum’s activities and events is a bonus.

Share how the partnership between the University and the Museum has grown.

There has always been a close connection with the Myers School of Art, but extending membership to every UA student allows all majors to benefit from what our greater community has to offer. In addition to work with the art school, the Museum has partnered with Undergraduate Student Government in providing innovative programs that engage students in the institution and in downtown Akron in general. Orientation events at the Museum allow all new students to experience the art museum and downtown Akron. 

Why is the Akron Art Museum important for individuals, families, communities, and your employees?

Whether you are an adult or a child, there is always something that triggers your creativity when you visit the Museum. We like that the Akron community is very involved with what happens throughout the year.

Are particular works in the collection or in exhibitions special to you?

We are fans of the architecture, and the Sol LeWitt wall drawing in the lobby brings me joy every time I see it; the colorful work is inspiring, especially on a gray Akron winter’s day. As for exhibitions, the astonishing Nick Cave show and the amazing soloist who sang prior to the opening were spectacular. Our Land, the exhibition celebrating the National Park Service, brought the beauty of America’s parks to Akron. Mark Mothersbaugh forced visitors to look at the individual pieces with great focus, and the recent Keith Haring exhibition was fun—especially when Akron was invited to come in and paint with Matt Miller in a style similar to Haring’s. We enjoyed that night so much! And one of the most exciting exhibitions was the Kaleidoscope Quilts of Paula Nadelstern. The colors and designs were amazing, and the math involved in figuring out each piece was mind blowing.
