The Canton Museum of Art (CMA) has unveiled its exhibition schedule for the 2025-26 season, which will also commemorate the museum’s 90th anniversary. The season, running from August 2025 through July 2026, will feature over nine new exhibitions, including a significant event titled “Shattered Glass: The Women Who Elevated American Art.” This major exhibition will draw from national and private collections to highlight the contributions of women artists throughout American history, aiming to bring their often-overlooked legacies to the forefront.

The fall 2025 exhibitions, opening August 26, will include “Impressions En Plein Air,” showcasing Impressionist-style paintings, and “Stories Worth Painting: Augusto Bordelois,” exploring Hispanic heritage and the American Dream. The season’s centerpiece, “Shattered Glass,” opens November 25, 2025, and will occupy all of the museum’s galleries. This exhibition features over 100 works by influential female artists, with a particular nod to those from Ohio, such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Audrey Flack. The museum will also collaborate with local arts partners, including the National First Ladies Library & Museum, Stark Library, Canton Ballet, Massillon Museum, and McKinley Presidential Library & Museum, for related programming and exhibitions.

Spring 2026 exhibitions will include “Reclaimed: The Art of Recology,” a survey of 33 artists using recycled materials, and “Earth, Fire, Water: The Elements of Watercolor & Ceramics,” drawing from the CMA’s collection. Throughout the season, the museum will also host various public programs, talks, and events to celebrate its 90-year history as a cultural institution in the community.
