Studio M Student Exhibitions

Massillon Museum invites students or recent graduates pursuing a BA/BFA or MFA in studio art at a Northeastern Ohio university to apply for two Studio M show slots for the following year. Northeast Ohio-based remote students attending schools located outside Northeast Ohio will also be considered. Student shows are installed for three weeks each. The initiative connects Museum visitors to artwork by emerging artists in the region.
