In conjunction with Quilt National 2023, the Canton Museum of Art presents Stitched Together: A Visual Patchwork from the CMA Collection, a salon style display of works from our Permanent Collection in similar fashion to a quilt, telling various stories and paying tribute to quilting. 

Since 1991, the Canton Museum of Art has proudly held the Stark County High School Art Exhibition. Any high school in Stark County or connected with the Stark County ESC is invited to participate. Students have the chance to show their artwork in a gallery, sell their work, receive awards, and even win financial scholarships. Meanwhile, the public has the opportunity to marvel at the unbelieveable talent of students in our community - many of whom may go on to have careers in the arts.

Janice Jakielski is a Massachusetts (soon to be Colorado) based sculptor.

From the Artist:

“Against all sense and practicality, I have made a career creating sculpture from collaged and quilted cloth. A little over ten years ago, I upped the ante, adding kinetic elements to the three-dimensional work. This meant working with a fourth dimension- time.
