This fall, ArtsinStark culminated a community-wide festival in which 14 selected artists went around the northeast area of downtown Canton to paint on buildings as canvases. This mural festival was designed to be as accessible to everyone as possible, allowing the public to engage with the artists and learn about their creative decisions and processes.
Thanks to the combined effort of Visit Canton, the City of Canton, Downtown Canton Partnership, and ArtsinStark, as well as a sponsorship from Skyworks Equipment, these artists were able to bring their unique visions to life and inspire residents and visitors.
These murals now serve as colorful landmarks, enriching the city’s landscape and offering a deeper connection to its culture and history. The murals have transformed downtown Canton into an open-air gallery, attracting new energy and conversation.
If you haven’t yet, be sure to visit downtown Canton and experience these incredible murals in person. They’re waiting to inspire you!
