Canton Township opens annual Fine Arts Exhibition; juror selects 31 works

Canton Township’s annual Fine Arts Exhibition runs through Oct. 26 at the Cherry Hill Village Theater, showcasing works in oil, acrylic, pastels, inks, photography and textiles. Rocco Pisto served as this year’s juror and selected 31 pieces representing 30 artists from 150 total entries.

The exhibition is free and open to the public; an artists’ awards reception is scheduled on the ninth at 7 p.m. and a people’s choice vote will be held during the exhibition. The transcript states the people’s choice winner will be announced online after the “20 sixth” (not specified). All works in the show are for sale, and purchasers will receive pieces following the show’s closing.

Diane Baker, host of Canton This Month, framed the exhibition as the program’s “big story for the month,” noting the event’s long history: “Every year since 1993, the Township has hosted the fine arts exhibition, showcasing some of the best works from around Southeast Michigan.” The show has regularly featured regional artists and offers both juried awards and a people’s choice selection.

The program announced that artists interested in the 2026 exhibition should watch for the application period to open in the coming months. The transcript did not specify application opening or deadline dates for 2026.

Details: exhibition runs through Oct. 26; 150 entries; 31 works selected representing 30 artists; awards reception Sept. 9 at 7 p.m.; people’s choice winner announced online (date in transcript unclear).
