Akron Art Museum





About Akron Art Museum
Located in downtown Akron, the Akron Art Museum provides a contemporary, architecture-driven setting for weddings and private events. Its dramatic angles, sleek modern design, concrete and glass walls, and cityscape views at night create a flexible backdrop for ceremonies and receptions. The venue includes a Grand Staircase, a skybridge, galleries, and urban/garden backdrops, with both open-air and indoor options so events can proceed rain or shine. Guests can explore the museum's art exhibitions during downtime between ceremony and reception. The events team can customize activities, guided tours, and food and beverage. Catering is limited to the museum's designated approved caterers, and newlyweds receive a complimentary one-year Museum membership with benefits such as free admission, free parking, Museum Shop discounts, exclusive member events, and reduced pricing on future rentals. The museum is unavailable for rentals on major holidays, and wedding events on Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends are subject to an additional cost. As an art museum, exhibitions and displays take first priority in rental spaces.
