the Age of American Impressionism” Canton Museum of Art, Canton 330-453-7666 • cantonart.org
The centerpiece exhibition in celebration of the museum’s 85th anniversary, “Dancing in the Light: Masterworks from the Age of American Impressionism” features paintings and works on paper assembled from private collections, museum collections and CMA’s collection to tell the story of the movement of American Impressionism from its beginnings in France to the shores of America – and why it is still relevant and approachable today as one of the finest artistic periods. Several works by major artists held in private collections and rarely
seen in public will be featured in the exhibition.
Through March 14
“Making Your Mark”
Akron Art Museum, Akron 330-376-9185 • akronartmuseum.org
“Making Your Mark” features nine artists living and working in Northeast Ohio. Featured artists include Amber N. Ford, Taryn McMahon, Michaelle Marschall, Andrea Myers, Micah Kraus, Omid Shekari, Erykah Townsend (E.T.), Rebekah Wilhelm and Christine Zuercher. These richly hewn artworks are contextualized by the artists’ own words, glimpses into their studios and tools of their craft.
