Rhonda Devore

My two high schoolers and I visited the museum for the first time in really enjoyed it although we wish it was larger with increased variety

Spank Raymond

Ok. Small

Lynda Wilkinson

Thursdays you can visit the museum for free! No excuses, go have an awesome time with your family and/or friends. There it's also a section with art supplies where you can create art with your children/grandchildren! Definitely worth visiting!

Aurora Ross

Oddmall was great. The art at the museum was amazing.

Sam Smith

Nice place, needs some money spent on fixing some things

Anthony Pennza

Nice little museum with some interesting work on display. It's worth seeing if you're visiting the area.

joe vassel

AWESOME! No reason not to go....easy parking, the gallery is very welcoming and so is the staff! The guy at the front desk was very helpful when I had questions and got me signed up for emails to keep me updated.

Lakota Sampson

Great place for a family outing. Wonderful exhibits

Jayke Brown

Small and not very satisfying but nice that Canton at least has something

Cynthia Mobley

Got there and it was packed. Seems some Catholic Church had an event there. None of the main galleries were open. Only one small one of local artists. Glad we didn't have to pay for parking and to get in. Stayed for 10 and left. Very disappointed.

There's a spectacular photography exhibit at Canton Museum of Art, running a few more weeks, called From Darkness To Light. It puts you in the shoes of escaping slaves moving North, through Ohio, on the Underground Railroad.

Rachel Reneker

Very cool.

Bob Holt

Inspiring!

Michelle Sowers

Not much to look at $8 admission

Nice museum...small

Eric Cooper, Realtor

Very cool. Didn't even know Canton had an art museum until a couple of weeks ago. The Dream world's exhibit was awesome, and the drawing booths for kids was great for my 6 year old, who was inspired by all the cool art! We're taking her back for Art Camp this summer!

Steve Meade

Very cool and interesting place. Would definitely go again.

Darrick Dillard

The museum is fantastic. It currently has an incredible exhibit of photos taken along the Underground Railroad. The also do activities all of the time. Now that it is October they are doing their kids event. Trick-or-treating and activities for the kids. Good times!

Jon Bright

Kris kingle art & crafts

Tanya Ford

Wonderful exhibits. They even had a scavenger hunt for kids to do.

Pattricia Trocceli

Love it there. Taking a new acrylics class. Took a watercolor class previously.

Alexandra O'Sullivan

I was here for oddmall and the dreamworlds exhibition, I liked what I saw. Will definitely be coming back to check out the rest.

April Atkinson

Very nice.

Geri Waggoner

Three rooms of paintings and mixed medium, and one mostly sculpture and earthen ware. That was it. My first trip. Maybe my last. The small gallery in Barberton has more to see per sqft.

Yoly Miller Heisler

Beautiful place. Lots of room for roaming and absorbing.

Jennifer D

I love canton arts! Must see

juilianna cloud

Great

Madeline VanHorn

If you have plans to go here on a rainy day, hope that it is a Thursday so you can get free admission. This art museum only has two small exhibits which makes for a short trip. The art that was curated when I was visiting was interesting and worth the trip, but I was disappointed by the size. Definitely go to check it out, but not worth the price of admission!

Paula Holman

My husband and I visited the museum for the Crafty Mart shop. The museum is beautiful. Love the little sculpture courtyard. Very calm and inspiring atmosphere. We will make return visits.

Amanda Singleton

Great place to take ceramic classes. The exhibits are great as well. It is worth the membership.

Austin Eisenbrei

It was fun and free. It's always a nice time to stroll around and see Canton. Its a hopeful site to see more and more happening downtown.

Deborah Breining

Great exhibit space

Linda Carter

Beautiful

Bruce Grodhaus

Unusual exhibition

Izzy Bosler

Tiffeny Brown

I love it here

Rachel Barrett

It's cheap, well kept and they have high quality art and classes for both adults and children. Watch out of their events too! Very unique and fun!

Louise Moser

Love the wine and paint nights here

Karen Wright

Nice local artist s

Ryan Kinney

Great building and organization. Went on a free day (president's day) not a lot of pieces on display really. Everyone there was very nice, but if I paid admission I would have been a little disappointed. Better to head up to Cleveland.

Anthony Snively

The works on display can be interesting, but it's a very small venue. If you happen to be at the Civic Center already it's worth seeing whats on display, but it's not worth a trip of it's own.

Nate Clark

Great venue

Pam Stout

First time to this museum. Easily strolled through and saw everything in 2 hours. Nicely laid out with many local artists. Only one thing and this is probably just me...the labels on the art are all crooked! I wanted to fix!

Lynn Daverio

Excellent exhibit. Knowledgeable staff.

karen charriez

Good place for those who like art.

Mary-Margaret PRICE

Small but quiet.

Joshua Walker

“Went to see paintings by Joseph Raffael” The Canton Museum of Art is a very small but extremely well run and organized museum. The few galleries are laid out in a very professional manner just as you would see in a major museum. We went to see a show containing many of the works of Joseph Raffael known for beautiful large scale watercolor paintings. The exhibition was...

Tara Smith

Had a lot of fun making my own mug and learning about coffee tonight:)

Gail Johnson

Wonderfull exhibit called Food for Thought. Dont miss it.

Steve Pack

Not large but well laid out open spaces. Small gift shop.

Val Renner

Love to attend the Chriskindle Mart.

Damien KIENTZ

Galleries are closed. They are changing exhibitions. I traveled from Pittsburgh for nothing. Nothing was written on their website.

Leah Murphy

Such a neat place to visit the parking deck is a little hectic though

Harriett Calcagno

A wonderful gem of a museum. I have enjoyed every visit.

Urbsee LLC

While the Canton Museum of Art may not be the largest around, this watercolor and ceramics focused museum is certainly serious about its art. Some of the earnest staff include Directors, Curators, Education Managers, & Docents that continually & diligently work to provide members & tourers with an enlightening journey through many forms of artistic expression. Visit, and visit often; as this museum does a great job of regularly changing the landscape of both their permanent & showcase galleries.

Aaron DeCapito

Perminent collection was roped off and not accessible during our visit, very small venue of artwork. I expected more.

Jennifer Murdock Harris

I enjoyed the exhibits, it's a small Museum but easy to navigate, and staff was helpful too!

Liz Lindemood

Cool exhibits. Nice for an afternoon trip.

Tiffany Schmidt

Always love the experience here.

James Gibson

Wondeful displays of art. Variety of items reasonably priced in gift shop.

Mandy Altimus Stahl

Great museum with engaged creative staff. I love seeing the new exhibits they come up with!

Aly Brine

While the Museum isn't the largest collection, it's still a hidden gem in Canton!

Brian Roof

Local art and people who care about it!

Phyllis Knoll

When we attended in December 2017, the galleries were closed to make way for a special artisans' show. Some vendors were set up to sell Christmas goods, and others had pottery, jewelry and other interesting creations. We plan to return when the normal galleries are open for view. Another fantastic museum about 1-hour away is The Butler Museum of American Art in Youngstown. Absolutely fantastic...plan to visit there as well. It's free and open to the public too.

Kathryn Allen-Tuttle

Loved it here. So many things to see. I had a class with my group and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Lou Yuhasz

Great show in the gallery, nice facility for special events

Christine Meier

Great exhibits. Friendly staff. Nice gift shop.

Sheila Graham

Didn't go to the museum, the facility was being used by an organization.

John Hercules

Was there for the oddmall show, it was nice.

Kelley Molla

Take back the night was a great event

Charles McClaugherty

Amazing special shows

Jessica Roberts-Thomas

The exhibits are a great tribute to the soldiers and service members who, even to this day, receive little if any recognition. Our K-9 troops!!!

Jennifer Berry

We were disappointed that it was closed today BUT it looks like a great place. The gentleman that was at the reception desk was so friendly. We can't wait to visit

Elain Wu

A great relaxing visit!

Mary Ambrose

Fantastic Family night tonight...fun for the whole family. They switch the art around so always something new to see!

Jayson Shenk

Great collection for a small museum.

Nicole Lemanski

Nice artwork, but only 3 rooms. Certainly don't need to go more than once per exhibit. The guy at the front desk was about as unfriendly as a person can get- probably not the best choice for the face of their customer service.

marc963

A tiny gallery. It was okay.

Dan Capri

Amazing event spot

Sara Love

Great place to take classes

Dane Griffey

Excellent center for the arts

Bill Moser

Wife & I have taken a couple of painting instruction "classes" there and have thoroughly enjoyed them.

Scott Suarez

A variety of art exhibits as well as classes.

Emily H

Very nice place

Had our wedding in the cable recital hall and reception in the lobby around the Pegasus. Absolutely loved it as a venue, very affordable.

diana nutter

Delightful place to visit

Cherish Thomas

We had a birthday party we attended here and it was very nice!

Kimberle Cathey

had a wonderful afternoon with friends. we went to see the "dream worlds" exhibit....imaginative, colorful, beautiful, thought provoking. I am going to bring my grandkids next time.

Mike Nogawd

Went to Oddmall. Had I not looked around better I would have missed several booths as they are down several hallways.

Cynthia Moser

Everything was satisfactory. A nice free museum.

Dustin Miller

Free during First Friday!

Natasha Guyotte

This is a good place if you're wanting art lessons but I wouldn't consider this a museum but more of a two rooms gallery.

K X

Closed during regular hours. Disappointing.

John Rusanowsky

We went to the Arden Riddle exhibit and it was well worth the visit.

David Weida

The Underground railroad exhibition is excellent.

Vivian Mosley

I have learned so much from the oil painting classes taught by Frank Dale. Starting another one this week!

J. Edwin Batch

Nice local museum

Sumara Doescher

Wonderful for the whole family. Projects for kids, free take-aways, enrichment classes...everything you could ever expect from a community art museum.

Heather Wise

There really wasn't that many exhibits to see but it was ok. I went on Thursday when admission is free so I didn't waste any money.

Matt Modena

I come to Christkindlemart every year and this is the perfect venue for it to be held in. There is plenty of room for all of the vendors that are set up. They always have a great assortment of vendors as well. For anyone who lives in the area that hasn’t come to Christkindlemart, it’s worth taking the time to visit.

Jason Castleberry

Great place!!

berteemac

Such a cool place to visit. They also hold events for children that are very well ran. If you close check it out

John Mcguinness

Very interesting !

Margaret Gallagher

Free Thursdays!

Lisa Rene' DeBenedictis

The Canton museum of art continuously brings in compelling fine art exhibits to accompany its first-rate permanent collection. This is a lovely museum that features events and special engagements that appeal to art lovers of every age. The staff is visionary and celebrates art and design that is unconventional and exemplary. Artists from every discipline share their mastery via sculpture, painting, fine art, furnishings, etchings, lithographs and fine textiles. The openings feature local musicians of distinction and the culinary skills and aesthetic delights of culinary science departments from Malone and Stark State campuses. This is a small museum with world-class ambitions and illustrious respect.

Christine and Brice Harris

Small, but the permanent collection had great write ups about the artists. Many local artists. Learned a lot. The traveling collections were unique and thought provoking.

Robert Maihofer II

Nice collection and easy parking Good for those needing a culture break

Erica Stuchell

Great place

Carrie Lu

A very small art museum that is laid out in a very attractive manner, it unfortunately had a furniture display out while we were there. Not all that interesting, really.
