The Canton HeART Guild^® of the Canton Museum of Art is a dynamic group of professionals and leaders in the Canton, Stark County, and surrounding community that are among the many volunteers to support CMA . The group's ever-evolving members promote CMA exhibitions, events, and education programs, including staffing for outreach programs in the Museum and in the community.

The Museum's HeART Guild gives members an opportunity to learn about the Museum's mission and to be active ambassadors for CMA, as well as involved as advocates of arts and culture. This creative group’s originality provided a surge of excitement around the Museum's fromer gARTen™ fundraisers, themed events held from 2015 to 2019, and now as part of a new Art Inspires Gala events connecting the community to CMA's mission and art. *

The HeART Guild was formed in 2015, as an initiative from the CMA board to establish greater connection to the wider community and to younger audiences and promoting the Museum's impact across the community. Today's HeART Guild is comprised of the Museum's board, staff, volunteers, and dedicated community sponsors and members excited to advance the Museum's dynamic exhibitions, creative programming, educational tools for learners of all ages, and cultural tourism contributions that strengthen and sustain our community.
