The Akron Art Museum greeted guests with copious amounts of color on Wednesday, not only from art within the institution’s newly renovated 1899 building, but also via scores of floral displays within its walls. The debut of the space at 1 S. High St., now named the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Building, coincided with the Akron Garden Club’s Arts Bloom 2026, a one-day exhibition of the Garden Club of America flower show.
