The Joseph Saxton Gallery of Photography is one of the country’s newest premier photography galleries and unique in Northeast Ohio. A venue dedicated solely to photography is a rare find, let alone one on this scale.
The gallery space is the result of nearly a year’s renovations to the century-old A.H. Wilson Building (1909) yielding the handsomely appointed display area so perfectly suited for showcasing master photography.
The collection holds landmark works by more than 160 lensmen and spans the entire breadth and history of the photographic medium. From early dagguerotypes and tintypes to modern giclée prints; from Atget and Nadar to McCurry and Salgado, you will find it all here.
 Tim Belden
Owner
A long time Canton resident, Tim Belden’s interest in photography began as a teenager developing black and white prints. A student of creative writing and art history at Bowling Green and Cornell Universities, Tim opened his first art gallery – LeGallerie – in 1975.
Tim’s current project is the Joseph Saxton Gallery of Photography. The goal of the gallery is to examine the entire history of photography in one physical location, a goal facilitated by the historic A.H. Wilson Building (1909) in which the collection is housed. Tim is very active in the Arts District, located in Canton's historic downtown.

 Stephen McNulty
Curator & General Manager
Not a classically trained photographer; Stephen surprisingly never had a single lecture in photography. As a biosecurity student, Stephen has been afforded tremendous travel opportunities and photography was a natural companion to his biological studies.
"Being a biologist gets me places photographers can’t get and vice versa" says Stephen, "they really dovetail quite seamlessly." After seven years of extensive trekking Stephen returned home. Serendipitously, it was at this time that Tim Belden began development of the Joseph Saxton Gallery. Stephen's personal work can be seen on his website here.
