A new initiative from the restaurant not only plans to add some new decor to the dining area, but support those in the Akron area looking to have their work shared and supported.
AKRON, Ohio — Local business supporting local artists—that's the goal of Lockview Restaurant in Downtown Akron.
"Call for Artist! Our walls are yours and we are looking for two or three Artist to fill them. 100% sales go to the Artist’s so message us," the restaurant wrote. The response is so strong because Akron's art scene is strong. Artists from around the area are looking for their work to be seen and digested by those within the community.
"To have an organization support you and want to show your work and want to bring it, bring the awareness of your work to more people, it's really validating and it really does help make the community a better place to live," Thomas McGee said.Kraus curates art for businesses, but also creates it himself. He was one of the hundreds of artists tagged in The Lockview's post calling for artists.
"To dedicate wall space in commonly used spaces like restaurants means a lot to the the art community because you could fill those walls with posters that are purchased from other fulfillment sites and things that are less expensive or more easily obtainable—but to access unique works from artists in this area highlights those artists. I think it brings a lot of attention to this region and it makes the space more unique as well," Kraus said.
