Shattered Glass: The Women Who Elevated American Art

Valid November 25, 2025 to March 1, 2026

Category: Museum Exhibits

Opening November 25, 2025, Shattered Glass aims to shine a light on the remarkable artists so often excluded from history books and start a conversation about their enormous contributions.

Shattered Glass is the first original exhibit held at the Canton Museum of Art to highlight only female artists. Particular focus is given to those women who faced adversity due to not only their gender, but also race, sexuality, economic status, family, and life challenges. A sub-theme within the exhibition focuses on the women who created and exhibited their work under a male pseudonym, some of whom only revealed the truth in recent years or upon their death.

The artworks in Shattered Glass come from the Canton Museum of Art's own Collection, in addition to loans from museums nationwide and private collectors. Artworks are in a variety of mediums, from oil paintings to ceramics and film, for a total of around 100 works by glass-shattering artists.
