Melissa English Campbell (b. San Francisco, 1969) is a visual artist whose work bridges the tactile discipline of weaving with the fluid expressiveness of painting. Informed by a rootless upbringing and immersion in European, Mediterranean and American cities, she is motivated by a search for belonging and identity. Drawing on the cultural fluidity of a nomadic childhood she builds pieces that evoking a dialogue between order and dissolution. 

Paul Spina was a distinguished artist, celebrated for his exceptional skill in painting and drafting. He was particularly known for his masterful use of illusion and his seamless ability to shift between monochromatic and vibrant color palettes.

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.

Earth, fire, and water are fundamental forces in both nature and artistic creation. At the Canton Museum of Art, these elements emerge not only in the visual aspects of art but also in the very materials and processes that make it — clay from the earth formed and transformed in fire, pigments washed in water — these form the foundation of artistic expression.

The Canton Museum of Art presents a juried exhibition of artists from Canton Artists League, an affiliate group of the Museum.
