General Information About Renting Massillon Museum Facilities:
Ten six-foot tables are available. Café tables and chairs may also be used when the lobby is rented. Advance notice is required for use of the tables. The Museum has no linens; we recommend renting from Canton Chair Rental.

Lobby set-up can begin no earlier than 3:00 p.m. Commercially rented tables, chairs, and linens, must be delivered and picked up during regular Museum hours and Museum staff must be notified in advance.

A CD system in the Silk Room may be used upon request. A band may be hired for lobby and gallery rentals, but the Museum has no sound system for their use.

The Fred F.Silk Community Room displays Studio M artwork, which changes every month.

The Museum does not cater. You must provide your own food or hire a caterer.

Food and drink are prohibited in the gallery without specific permission from the director.

Supplies may be delivered the afternoon before the rental if there is nothing scheduled for rental on that day. However, the Museum is not responsible for lost items. No decorating may be done until the day of the event.

Rentals include no kitchen access. We recommend using a caterer or using chafing dishes to warm food.

Plates, glassware, and flatware in Silk Room cupboards and drawers are not available for rental use.

The Museum has a projection screen available for use, however, there is no projector available.

The Museum strictly prohibits posting signs related to rental events. The Museum receptionist will direct guests to your event.
