'Cultural cornerstone.' Canton Museum of Art celebrates anniversary with major exhibit

The Canton Museum of Art is celebrating its 90th anniversary with a major exhibition titled "Shattered Glass: The Women Who Elevated American Art," which honors elite women artists. The exhibit will debut at the sold-out 2025 Art Inspires Gala on November 22 before opening to the public on November 25, with a free opening reception on December 11.

This milestone underscores the museum's role as a cultural cornerstone in Canton, Ohio, and highlights a growing institutional focus on recognizing historically underrepresented women artists. The anniversary exhibition not only marks nine decades of community engagement but also aligns with broader art-world efforts to address gender disparities in museum collections and exhibitions.
