Megan Albert

Owner at The Society

I’ve always wanted to create a cohesive, upscale working environment for artists alike, that can feel like they’re in an elevated space while still being able to make their own schedules, be their own boss, but still feel like part of a team. I wanted to create a space where we can share the experience and feed off of each other’s positive energy.

The history of this space, the beautiful architecture and natural light of this special space makes you want to be a part of it the moment you walk in.

Come join our creative approach at one of the most gorgeous new locations around. We’re centrally located in the heart of Merriman Valley in Akron Ohio.

We can’t wait for you to be a part of The Society.
