What a beautiful evening celebrating community creativity at the State of the Arts event by Arts Now!

As one of this year’s grantees for our Music + Wellness program, we were grateful to be invited to attend this special night. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many talented local artists, arts leaders, and arts patrons — we even ran into Summit favorite Mr. Jeff!

Congratulations to this year’s award winners — the Auburns and Howard Parr (with Akron Civic Theatre)— for their outstanding contributions to the arts in our community 🎉

After years in the Brill Building stable writing hit songs for others, Carole King broke out on her own in 1970 with the LP Writer, which, though it barely made a wave, set the stage for her landmark classic Tapestry.

Released in 1971, Tapestry became one of the decade’s biggest and most significant albums, featuring a slew of timeless songs like “I Feel the Earth Move,” “So Far Away,” “It’s Too Late,” and “Smackwater Jack,” to name a few. The album catapulted King into stardom and ultimately went multi-platinum, becoming one of the defining records of the 1970s.

Find out why it remains so special 55 years on—or scratch that nostalgia itch—and tune in all day Thursday, Oct. 16, as we feature Carole King’s Tapestry as our Summit Album Essential.
