Behind the Art at Canton

A team of 12 local artists, lead by Adam Hernandez, have helped to develop the theme inspired by classic treasure hunters from pop culture: Indiana Jones and Lara Croft Tomb Raider. In the open-ing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones finds himself in the rainforest seeking an an-cient relic. This is the setting for a mural with crumbling ancient Peezler statues guarding the treas-ure map. Everywhere you turn there is quirky creativity amid the backdrop of local history. Turn of the century President William McKinley douses a taco with hot sauce while First Lady Ida dips a chip in queso. A gold jacket made of cheese? That’s a tip of the helmet to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a primary visitor destination in Canton. Other celebs light up the walls: All around star ath-lete from the 1920’s Jim Thorpe, Grammy winner Macy Gray, 70s hit artist Box Scaggs, and Mike Schario of Pawn Stars.
