Holiday Pop Up Art Show: Canton Arts Council

Connecting the arts to the community!

The Holiday Pop Up Art Show in Canton Connecticut brings together over 45 artists and artisans from Canton and surrounding towns. Just in time for the holidays, visitors can find paintings, jewelry, ceramics, woodcrafts, sculptures, and wearable art. Collectors will be able to find a range of high end American craft and museum quality art to reasonably priced gifts for their loved ones. This unique opportunity lets art lovers support their neighboring creatives trying to recover from the economic slowdown.

This show is produced and directed by Tim Scull, owner of Canton Clay Works, in partnership with the Canton Arts Council as a kick-off event to raise funds for the Canton Arts Council, whose mission is to connect artists to the community. Together they have recruited local artists and artisans from the Collinsville Axe Factory, Canton, and the other nearby communities to provide a venue for artists after the shutdown of many regional art exhibitions.

The Holiday Pop Up Art Show is located in scenic Canton right off of Route 44. Running from now until December 12. We are open: Wed-Friday from 11am-7pm, Sat from 10am-6pm, and Sunday from 10am-5pm.
