Studio M is a new opportunity for members of the Massillon Museum to exhibit their artwork in the Fred F. Silk Community Room. Juried solo shows will be installed for 5 weeks and each will be celebrated by an artist’s reception on the Friday evening of its opening.

Both established and emerging visual artists can display and offer for sale their creations. Studio M may be a first look at a young artist’s vision or a welcome reunion with a favorite regional talent. It will be an additional reason to enjoy the Massillon Museum, to be intrigued and inspired by art.

Studio M was created with the intention of strengthening the ties between the Massillon Museum and the community. The contributions of our members enable us to provide quality programming that enriches the cultural, historical, and artistic integrity we seek to maintain. By showcasing the artistic talents of local, regional, and national artists, Studio M will foster a collaborative relationship between the Massillon Museum and the community that emphasizes the value we place on the support of our members.
