The Ananda Center is a non-profit arts advocacy organization. We are focused on providing a venue for local artists of all genres to teach, learn, collaborate, and celebrate the arts in Massillon.


  We are regular folks from (and living in) Massillon advocating for the arts. Our  goal is to engage our hometown community with the arts. We showcase local artists both performing and visual, as well as teach, learn and collaborate with what we know, and who we know. We have weekly classes and frequent workshops in many aspects of the arts. The Ananda Center also produces annual and other events that exemplify the local arts.

 

  If you are a local visual artist, or a performer we want to talk to, help showcase, and collaborate with you! Please visit our contact page.

  Our hope is that our creative efforts encourage growth in our community. We believe the arts have a big part to play in personal, social and economic growth here in Massillon. We are working to stimulate collaboration among other existing arts organizations in the area to create a cultural center in downtown Massillon.
 

  If you are supporter of the arts, and enjoy live performances, and the visual arts, we would appreciate your participation by volunteering to help with our events and or classes. We can always use and extra pair of hands, and you will help influence change and growth in
Massillon.

 If you are like us, then you know how important the Arts are. They are necessary for a happy healthy and successful community. We welcome your participation at the Ananda Center. Contact us if you are interested in performing or displaying your work, want to volunteer at an event, or if you have an idea for a class, workshop, or other arts happening. To donate click here.
