Join us for a reception of Holding Light, a free art exhibition featuring the work of Dee Fairweather, Megan Frankenfield, and Care Hanson. Their work will be on display from July through September, 2026. The opening reception is Friday, July 10th, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at Stewart’s Caring Place 3501 Ridge Park Dr. Akron 44333
“Holding Light” is a group exhibition that celebrates the transformative power of art to nurture, restore, and connect. Through distinct yet complementary artistic practices, the artists explore themes of resilience, growth, memory, and the enduring presence of hope. Rich textures, luminous color, and evocative imagery encourage viewers to slow down, reflect, and find moments of beauty amid life’s complexities.
The exhibition’s title, Holding Light, speaks to the ways we carry hope, strength, and compassion through times of challenge and change. It also reflects the mission of Stewart’s Caring Place, where support, connection, and healing are offered to individuals and families facing cancer.
