While Honoring the Past

The Mission

To serve as a hub for Canton and the surrounding area to come and get hands-on with art in ways that inspire, excite, heal and entertain.

The Vision

Located in Canton’s historic Cherry Hill Village, the Village Arts Factory will be a regional arts center producing an arrangement of art education programs and studio assortment for artists. Gallery and retail space will offer the public an opportunity to take part and embrace the arts.

About The Property

The Village Arts Factory property is located just one block west of The Village Theater in the heart of Canton’s historic Cherry Hill Village District. “The Village” is also home to one of the mid-west’s largest neo-traditional housing communities. The development of the Village Arts Factory will provide the community with a chance to save two nationally registered historic structures, as well as will create a regional destination that will honor history and embrace the arts all in one.
