Supporting Akron Artists

The primary mission of Direct Current is to support artists from the Akron area. We manage a community space where artists can gather, present their work, collaborate, and engage with a diverse community of creative minds. Our programs support musical artists, visual artists, writers, and other members of the creative community.

Community space:  Our community space also houses the Electric Company recording studio, giving local musicians the possibility to record their work using professional recording equipment and in-house recording engineers.

Grants:  In addition to supporting the operation of our community space, Direct Current administers a grant program that provides financial assistance to artists.  For more information about how to apply for a grant, click the button below.
