Retiring Akron Art Museum Director Mitchell Kahan thinks surface parking lots in downtowns are a waste of space. He’s not the only one.
Rick and Alita Rogers of Akron have made a what officials call a seven-figure donation to turn the museum’s staff parking lot into an enclosed sculpture garden. Rick Rogers says he remembers the space before the new building was constructed.
“The old Meyers Sculpture Garden was an encluised, peaceful, and contemplative space where outdoor events were held in the Summer months. And we’ve missed that element. So this projects fulfills the plan for the next exciting step in the museum’s growth.”
The new garden will be named after Rogers’ parents, Bruce and Suzanne Rogers. Known around Akron as Bud and Susie, they were longtime friends of the museum.
Kahan says the space will not only hold outdoor art, but will also be a venue for concerts including the popular Downtown at Dusk series in the summer.
Kahan is retiring January 2nd. The museum’s interim director will be Chief Curator Janice Driesbach
