Studio Kroner Hosts Fundraiser for Dr. Amy Acton and David Pepper

Studio Kroner was honored to host Dr. Amy Acton, Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, and her running mate, David Pepper, for a special fundraising event on June 8.

The evening brought together engaged citizens from across the region to hear Dr. Acton and Mr. Pepper discuss their vision for Ohio's future. The energy in the gallery was inspiring, reflecting a shared commitment to civic engagement and thoughtful leadership.

Thanks to the generosity of those in attendance, the event raised over $20,000 in support of the Acton-Pepper campaign.

Community Support Makes an Impact

We are deeply grateful to our co-hosts and sponsors, Paul Kroner & Elaine Olund, Michael DiMaggio & Ellen Forte, Jens Rosenkrantz Jr. & M. Katherine Hurley, Beverly Thomas & Roy Robbins, and Annette Januzzi Wick & Mark D. Manley, M.D., whose support helped make the evening possible. We also extend our thanks to the campaign team, volunteers, and everyone who attended, contributed, and helped create such a memorable event.

Art, Community, and Civic Engagement

The fundraiser took place amid our current exhibition of paintings by Ken Landon Buck, inspired by Ohio's Serpent Mound. As a place of gathering and reflection for generations, Serpent Mound serves as a reminder of the importance of community, stewardship, and our shared responsibility to shape the future. Those themes provided a meaningful backdrop for an evening focused on leadership, public service, and the future of Ohio.

A Place for Conversation

For five years, Studio Kroner has sought to be more than a gallery—to be a place where art sparks conversation, fosters connection, and encourages engagement with the issues that shape our lives. We were proud to continue that tradition by hosting this important event.

Thank you again to everyone who joined us. We look forward to continuing the conversations that make our community stronger.
