Reviving a Legacy, One Brushstroke at a Time.

Originally opened in 2005, Second April Studios has long been a cornerstone of the Canton Arts District, helping shape downtown Canton’s identity as a hub for creativity. Founded by Canton native Tim Carmany, Second April first made its mark as a space for artists to create and connect. Tim later launched The Hub Art Factory—now the longest-tenured gallery in the district—before returning to 324 Cleveland Ave NW with a vision to reawaken the building’s legacy. The name Second April was lovingly restored as both a nod to its history and a symbol of creative rebirth.

Today, Second April Studios is more than just an art gallery. We are a collaborative community of artists, vendors, and creatives who bring the heart of Canton to life. With two floors of working studios, rotating exhibits, and events like First Friday in downtown Canton, our space connects the public with painters, photographers, sculptors, and makers of all kinds.

Located in the heart of the Downtown Canton Arts District, across from Centennial Plaza and surrounded by restaurants, bars, shops, and other galleries, Second April is a true gathering place. It’s where art, music, comedy, and cocktails come together to create an experience that’s vibrant, welcoming, and uniquely Canton.
