MIAM-GalleryShow21-web.jpgThe Myers School of Art at The University of Akron is excited to once again be offering a FREE pre-college summer program for rising junior and senior high school art students.

Several field trips to area museums and galleries will also be included. Participants’ final work will be shown in an exhibition in Folk Hall on the final day. Family and friends are welcome to attend the exhibition.
