Community Involvement

Strategically positioned in a downtown community steeped in historical significance and located at the heart of Canton Arts District, the Joseph Saxton Gallery hopes to be a shining example of adaptive reuse in post industrial America.

Employing area contractors, hiring locally, and buying from our neighbors not only helps ensure the highest quality resources, but also helps ensure money spent stays in the community.

Arts in Stark has played a pivotal role in bringing together area artists, arts professionals, and galleries into the unified league known as the Canton Arts District. The Joseph Saxton Gallery is proud to be a part of this Arts District and of the partnerships it has been able to strike up with neighboring galleries.

Every month the galleries and studios of downtown Canton join restauranteurs and entreprenuers for First Friday Celebrations, a fantastic display of local artisans from all walks of life that attracts thousands of visitors from the region.
