I would be remiss to forget to mention the Joseph Saxton Gallery of Photography, which I visited again while I was out at First Friday. I stopped by the first night of the grand opening, a few months ago, but their site wasn’t up and running at the time.
This time, I managed to bump into an old colleague, who is now the assistant manager of the gallery - it also turns out that I went to high school with the general manager! They’ve both obviously been working hard on the place; the gallery is a wonderful collection of both local artists and prints of famous work. I think the thing that throws me most is that it looks so much more like something you’d find in a big city. I know this place is sort of a labor of love, but maybe Canton is getting to that point artistically? Either way, check this place out (and talk to some people that I used to work/go to school with)!
