Nick Lee, a painter and 2021 Kent State University graduate, lives and works in Akron, Ohio. His artwork is inspired by the diversity of human experience. As a Japanese American, Lee’s visual art strives to better represent minorities like himself in American portraiture and western art. Another motivation for Lee is self-discovery. He uses symbolic Japanese objects in his paintings to connect with a culture that was not taught to him growing up. Lee is the 2023 recipient of the Distinguished Citizen for Art Education for the Northeast Ohio region by the Ohio Art Education Association and the recipient of the 2024 Arts Alive Emerging Artist award by Summit Artspace.
Gilding Northeast Ohio: Fashion and Fortune 1870–1900 is organized by the Massillon Museum (Massillon, Ohio). The exhibition, guest-curated by Brian Centrone, is funded by a Major Arts Enhancements & Exhibit Grant through ArtsinStark and Visit Canton.
