      STORIES: BIPOC ARTISTS FROM THE CMA COLLECTION (AUGUST 25, 2020-OCTOBER 25, 2020)

      This exhibit of works from the Canton Museum of Art’s permanent collection seeks to present some of the beauty and complexity of works created by BIPOC artists during the last century. In celebrating non-white artists from the region—and the nation as a whole—we hope that you see yourself and the country reflected in art, as these artists draw attention to the nation’s successes and failures in the search for equity, healing, and growth.
