Straight from Stark Video Series: Episode 5 with Local Arts Organizations

In our fifth Straight from Stark episode, hear from a panel of local arts leaders, including Robb Hankins, president and CEO of ArtsinStark, Michelle Charles, president and CEO of Canton Symphony Orchestra (CSO) and Alex Coon, executive director of the Massillon Museum. In a time where we need inspiration more than ever, these area arts organizations have been hard at work bringing our community together through virtual events, digital programming and socially-distanced opportunities to appreciate and celebrate the arts.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• ways cultural organizations have collaborated to create and deliver diverse digital content
• what to expect as these organizations begin reopening with modified operations
• updates on community events happening this month (including CSO's concert at Gervasi Vineyard and Massillon Museum's Island Party)
