Arts in Stark

Welcome to the Public Art tour in Downtown Canton! You will begin your tour at Downtown Canton’s Arts in Stark building, a half century old institution here in Stark County dedicated to bringing local artists and communities together with art and local events. While the tour will take place in Downtown Canton, Arts in Stark has worked with organizations all over Stark County to bring up its communities, culture, and local artists. Including but not limited to the Canton Ballet, Massillon Museum, Cultural Arts Center, Canton Symphony Orchestra, and the Canton Palace Theatre. 

While not only supporting local schools and nonprofits, Arts in Stark has also provided funding and assistance to many of the murals and pieces you will find on this tour. Always determined to bring the art scene alive in Canton, Arts in Stark has had a tremendous influence on First Friday, the once a month event festival bringing the community together, and the Canton Cultural Center for The Arts, which has long drawn in Stark County and Canton citizens for it’s theatrical performances and Canton Museum of Art. The Eleven, a public art piece commemorating some of the greatest moments in pro football history, that you will see several exhibits of on this tour, was also commissioned by Arts in Stark in partnership with the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
