Akron Soul Train's main objective is to provide artists with residencies that offer the necessary resources for creative expression. These residencies typically span one month, although they can be extended if an artist requires more time. A crucial aspect of each residency is community engagement, which takes the form of workshops, project participation, panel discussions, or demonstrations. Residencies are open to artists from diverse creative disciplines, including visual arts, music, literary arts, dance, theater, and filmmaking. As part of the program, each artist-in-residence receives an opportunity to showcase their developed work (for visual artists) or perform at one of our partner organizations. Occasionally, supplementary programming is introduced to enrich the artistic process or amplify the artist's voice. For updates or announcements, please follow us on social media.
