The Groundhog Show, founded in 2021, is an annual pop-up art exhibition celebrating northeast Ohio artists and creators. Over the past four years, it has become incredibly popular among artists and art enjoyers alike with significant participation from the LGBTQ+ community. Due to a significant increase in both participating artists and attendance, it was decided to move the Groundhog Show from Portage Lakes to downtown Akron in 2024. This year, there are more artists than any previous year and we are in Summit County Building which is a bigger space than last year, housing the most artists and pieces ever!

Additional programming will include live music, live figure drawing sessions, and an open mic night. Committed event partners include Summit Artspace, ArtsNow, Curated Storefront, TrueNorth Akron, Moo, Northside Marketplace, Jilly's Music Room, The Nightlight, Plexus LGBT + Allied Chamber of Commerce, and Dirty River Bikes. The Groundhog Show is co-curated by Taylor Clapp, Kari Anderson and Liana Gonzalez. Awards will be selected by Maddie McSweeney and Bronylnn Thurman.
