We Have the Power to Impact Canton’s Future, and We’re Doing Something About It
In 2022, the Partnership for the Arts and Canton Township entered into a formal agreement to collaborate on bringing about a revival of the historic Cherry Hill Village District. The Village Arts Factory serves as the launching pad for this revival and a hub for arts programming and economic development in Canton Township. Our programs, events, classes, and festivals are attended by more than 10,000 residents each year, and we work closely with Canton Leisure Services to provide innovative and exceptional opportunities for Cherry Hill Village and beyond. With the help of our members, staff, and community partners, we continue to reimagine the way that art is experienced, appreciated, and nurtured. As Cherry Hill Village begins the next phase of its growth and development, the Village Arts Factory will play an integral role in shaping the future of this beautiful community.

Agent Orange Awareness 5K
The Agent Orange Awareness 5K Run/Walk returns this year on August 26 to help raise awareness of the lingering effects of the toxic herbicide used during the Vietnam War. Not only does this annual community race bring honor to our veterans, it also brings to light the continuing toll of Agent Orange exposure on our servicemen and their families. This year we’re hoping to raise $10,000 in sponsorships from individuals and local businesses to support the continued operation of the Veterans’ Dormitory here at the Village Arts Factory. Our Dormitory provides safe housing for veterans who need a place to live as they transition back into civilian society. Become a sponsor today and join us in being part of their story.
register for the race
The artist’s world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always at his doorstep.
