AKRON – Twenty-seven members of the Akron Area Arts League are displaying more than 70 pieces of art during the Akron Fourth of July celebration. The display will contain paintings, drawings, photography and a few other art forms. The public may view these works Tuesday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Wednesday from noon to 8 p.m. in the Akron Community Center east of Akron and north on Ind. 14. A reception and an awards ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday. Cash prizes will be given for “Best of Show” and “First Place” in four categories. Jim Adams, retired art professor from Manchester College, will judge the show. Those who visit the show may vote for their favorite piece and a $25 award will be given for the “People’s Choice.” Also, everyone who signs the guest book will have an opportunity to receive a $25 gift certificate from the Akron Country Kitchen Restaurant.
