Canton Museum of Art

The Canton Museum of Art will facilitate a collaborative project based on an exhibition of Ohio artist Joseph O’Sickey. This retrospective exhibition will cover the art produced by O’Sickey from 1940 to the present. There will be an emphasis on O’Sickey’s belief in the importance of sketching and drawing, which will be incorporated into related education programs. The subjects and themes of the artist’s work will also be explored and highlighted, including racetracks and horses, the circus, the Cleveland Metropark Zoo, Maine’s coast, France, and the artist’s own studios and gardens. The museum will develop the exhibition, publish an accompanying catalog, and develop and implement educational programming.
