Since 1991, the Canton Museum of Art has proudly held the Stark County High School Art Exhibition. Any high school in Stark County or connected with the Stark County ESC is invited to participate. Students have the chance to show their artwork in a gallery, sell their work, receive awards, and even win financial scholarships. Meanwhile, the public has the opportunity to marvel at the unbelieveable talent of students in our community - many of whom may go on to have careers in the arts.

From the Artist:

Janice Jakielski is a Massachusetts (soon to be Colorado) based sculptor.

From the Artist:

“Against all sense and practicality, I have made a career creating sculpture from collaged and quilted cloth. A little over ten years ago, I upped the ante, adding kinetic elements to the three-dimensional work. This meant working with a fourth dimension- time.

From the Artist:

"My work is influenced by the idea of legacy, and the ways in which our family history, oral histories, and DNA shape our personalities and life trajectories. There is a saying, “We die two deaths. The first, when we die, and the second is when we’ve been forgotten.” Are our ancestors truly forgotten or does our DNA retell their past whether we know it or not?
