bout 1,200 degrees hot, that is. At least that’s

the heat that glass artist John Boyett will be

packing when he opens Canton Glass

Works in the heart of downtown Canton late this summer.

Canton’s tight-knit arts community has lured Boyett south from hiscurrent studio, Akron Glass Works, which he co-founded in January2006.

Originally from Dade City, Fla., Boyett traveled the world in the USAir Force and earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from FloridaInternational University. He was a member of the University ofMiami Glass Blowing Guild and studied at Penland School ofCraft.

During his long career, he has worked as an artisan at StudioGlashutten in Ahus, Sweden, and at Hale Farm and Village inAkron, before co-founding Akron Glass Works. He also travels much of the year to showsaround the region. Most recently,he took first place at this May’s Groveport Arts Festival in Grove-port, Ohio, and third place at the Delaware Arts Fest in Delaware, Ohio.

John currently resides with wife (and business partner) Linda, and their boysJordan, 11, and Jacob, 8, in North Canton. He says he has a lot to learn about Canton, but also a great deal to contribute. And from what he’s seen so far, he can’t wait!

“Bringing my craft to Canton isn’t just about me. I enjoy the idea ofbeing part of the community and giving back. There is no better

Tidbits ...

I am a native Cantonian. I have lived in everyquadrant of the city. I am proud of my home-town. For four years as a student at TimkenVocational High School, I lived downtown at124 Sixth Street SW. The beautiful apartmentbuilding we lived in is no longer standing, butits twin building – at 134 Sixth Street – is stillthere. I loved living in downtown Canton! Themovie theatres, Isaly’s, banks, grocery stores,restaurants, pharmacies, architecture, ThePhillis Wheatley House, doctors, lawyers,churches, schools – everything was easilyaccessible!

I own a home in Northwest Canton now. Iwork downtown, volunteer downtown, go tomovies, restaurants, the hair salon and attendnumerous activities downtown!

I am a Program Officer at Stark CommunityFoundation working primarily in the develop-ment of grassroots neighborhood associations.I am impressed with the numerous volunteerhours neighborhood association membersdevote to the betterment of their neighbor-hoods. They plan, strategize, take ownershipand vote. They have a voice and are the keyto the success of their neighborhoods.

Stark Community Foundation recognizes theimportance of all neighborhoods. Our initia-tive, Neighborhood Partnership Grant Program(NPGP), has awarded almost $1.4 million overthe past 14 years to the more than 50 neigh-borhood associations located in every quad-rant of Canton.

As a part of the program, we offerNeighborhood Leadership Training (NLT), partof which is a bus tour to every neighborhoodrepresented in the class. The downtown portionof the tour includes going to the SouthwestAssociation of Neighbors (SWAN) because ofits rich history. I tell the story of Bezaleel Wellsand his founding of Canton in 1805. SWAN isstill evolving to this day, marked by the recentopening of the Ralph Regula Federal Building.

Our neighborhoods improve the livability,attractiveness, business vitality and visitorappeal of our great downtown area. DustySpringfield would have been pleased inCanton - DOWNTOWN!

ANNUAL ARTS CAMPAIGN exceeds goal five years running!

The doors of the new Sta rk Sta te dow n town Canton Au to m ot i veTechnology Center will open this fall at 839 Cleveland Ave., housing sec-ond-year students in the College’s automotive technology program andfreeing up space to accommodate the growing enrollment at the currentWhipple Ave. center.

Renovation is underway on the 13,800-square-foot facility, the former GanleyLincoln/Mercury building, most recently occupied by Canton Classic Cars. Twoclassrooms, two labs, auto bays and offices are part of the project, said RandyBennett, department chair and assistant professor of automotive technology. Planscall for most of the work to be finished in time for fall semester classes.

“This reinforces Stark State’s educational commitment in downtown Canton,” saidDorey Diab, provost and chief academic officer of Stark State College. “It willserve as a building block for future expansion downtown as we continue to empha-size that a highly-skilled workforce is imperative for economic revitalization.”

The building will be home to the comprehensive automotive program’s advancedstudents, whose second-year curriculum focuses on computer-controlled automo-tive systems. Bennett expects about 150 sophomore students, an enrollment thathas more than doubled over the past four years.

“This expansion allows our automotive technology program the opportunity togrow and serve more students as enrollment continues to increase,” Bennettadded.

Other students in the automotive technology program will continue to attend StarkState’s Automotive Technology Center at 5600 Whipple Ave. N.W. Bennett antic-ipates more than 600 full-time and part-time students will be enrolled in the entireautomotive technology program during fall semester.

At a Victor y Party held at the Joseph SaxtonGallery of Photography in the Canton Arts Districton last month, 2010 Annual Arts Campaign chairLinda DeHoff and her 100 volunteers got to cele-brate the sweet taste of victory by exceeding their$1,450,000 goal.

“Fighting against all the odds,” said DeHoff, “notonly have we made goal for the fifth year in a row—- we’ve gone over by five thousand dollars.”

DeHoff declared victory for “TEAM ARTS,” the2 010 Art s i n Sta rk annual arts campaign. Eve nthough this campaign had the same dollar goal aslast year’s, the fluctuating economy made it a raceto the finish. “There were many surprises in bothd i re c t i o n s ,” says Art s i n Sta rk board chair B o bTimken. “Some people couldn’t support us at thesame level as in the past while other donors uppedtheir gifts to record new heights.”

ArtsinStark began in 1968 with the dream of build-ing a Cultural Center for the Arts alongside theCanton Civic Center. In 1972 that dream cametrue. Today ArtsinStark is a nonprofit organizationthat gives out grants, manages the Cultural Center

and runs the Annual Arts Campaign. Its annualbudget is $2.6 million – and 99 percent of itcomes from the private sector. What isn’t earned israised from individuals, companies and founda-tions. Every spring, ArtsinStark conducts the AnnualArts Campaign. In the last four years, giving to thearts has increased by 50 percent. Last May, in themiddle of a recession, it raised the largest amountin 41 years: $1,450,000. Because of the chal-lenging times, the goal was kept the same for2010. Out of every dollar raised – 91 cents goesdirectly to support programs that are part ofArtsinStark’s mission: “to create smarter kids, newjobs, and healthier communities.”

“The arts in Stark County continue to surge for-ward,” says ArtsinStark CEO Robb Hankins, “andin a very challenging year Linda DeHoff and herteam of volunteers have done an absolutely incred-ible job.”

As a result of the campaign, ArtsinStark will giveout over $1.2 million dollars in grants to nonprofits,schools and artists in Stark County.

5Looking inside...The Joseph Saxton Gallery of Photography

t has been a picture perfect year for

the Joseph Saxton Gallery of

Photography. The truly impressive thing is

that this one year is the gallery’s first in

existence.

The Saxton Gallery celebrated its first birthdayin the downtown Canton Arts District at June’sFirst Friday celebration. Owner Tim Beldenopened this gallery as a way to promote the fullrange of photography – historical and contem-porary – from street photography to nature,from fine art to documentary. His goal is to makethe Saxton Gallery the destination for photogra-phy in Northeast Ohio, and if the enthusiasticcrowds that have descended on this one-of-a-kind gallery are any indication, he’s on the pathto success.

The Saxton Gallery is still reeling from an over-whelming response to their first juried show –the C a n ton Lu m i n a ries Photo gra p hyCompetition, for which they received almost800 submissions from 140 photographers fromall over the country. Winners will be announcedJuly 9. Earlier this year, the Gallery played hostto two pro l i fic photo gra p h e rs – SteveMcCurry’s Unguarded Moment was featured

from February to April. Clyde Butcher , the“Ansel Adams of the Everglades,” had his show,Wilderness Visions, featured in May and June.Both shows received overwhelming attendanceand rave revues.

The gallery that has featured McCurry andButcher will now attempt a true hat trick: ArtWolfe, one of t he world’s most celebratednature photographers, will be welcomed to thegallery from July 2 through Oct. 1. Art Wolfe isthe author of more than 50 books and star ofthe PBS series ‘Travels to the Edge with ArtWolfe.’

C u ra tor and ge n e ral manager Ste p h e nMcNulty said of his mentor, Art Wolfe: “Art isan absolute inspiration, he is the leading con-servation photographer in the world. He keepsgetting better – a lesser lensman would havepeaked by now, but 30 years later, he just keepsgetting better.”

Wolfe will come to Canton on Friday, July 16,for a whirlwind day of special events includingthe limited edition Patron’s Luncheon, a gallerybook signing and a keynote speech at MaloneUniversity’s Johnson Center. For more informa-tion on these events and to pre-order your booksand tickets befo re th ey sell out, visitwww.JosephSaxton.com.

Other shows on the horizon for later this year?McNulty’s lips are sealed at this point, but hisd ream is to have Brazilian photo gra p h e rSebastio Salgado or James Nachtwey, bothc o n flict photo gra p h e rs, show at the Saxto nGallery someday.

No question about it, Joseph Saxton, America’sfirst photographer, would be proud of his name-s a ke. The beautiful arts and cra fts inspire dgallery features everything from man’s first pho-tographic endeavor, clamshell daguerreotypes,through turn of the century international masters,including photographers like Edward Steichenand Alfred Steiglitz, who put the art of photog-raphy on par with the works of Picasso. Thegallery also includes more contemporary works,and has a beautiful collection of modern por-traiture.

Let 200 of the world’s finest photographs beyour guide through time as you wander thegallery. It may be the new kid on the block in theArts District, but the incredible, blue chip pho-tography destination is a don’t-miss.

Works in the Saxton Gallery are available for sale, comp l ete with museum qu a l i t y, archival-grade framing performed onsite. Visitthe gallery at 520 Cleveland Ave. NW, or visitw w w. J o s e p h S a x to n . c o m for hours andevents.

Artist BOOT CAMPArtists tackle business sustainability in ArtsinStark beta program

Downtown Canton and the rest of Stark County have enjoyed

a recent explosion of the arts, but ArtsinStark hopes to ensure

that local artists, studios and galleries are equipped with the

tools to ensure sustainability for years to come.

To that end, June marked the commencement of an ArtsinStark-spon-sored pilot program, the Business Boot Camp for Artists. Ten artistswere selected to participate in a series of six workshops on topics toready them for business success. Boot Camp sessions covered every-thing from grant writing to intellectual property law, marketing tosecuring gallery representation. The workshops were led by seven-teen local business professionals and provide artists with next stepstoward a self-sustaining career in the arts.

Post-workshops, each artist will meet with a mentor for three months.Mentors will answer any questions that arise in the implementationphase, while connecting the artist to professionals who can aid themin the various tasks they undertake to strengthen their businesses.

The program is already generating enthusiasm. From the lips ofpainter Marcy Axelband: “I’m very appreciative of the investmentthat’s being made in me. The opportunity to learn from individualswith business acumen who have a desire to see artists succeed israre. Not only do I have the will to make this my livelihood; I nowhave the tools.”

At the conclusion of the pilot program, ArtsinStark plans to evaluatethe progress of these ten artists before opening the program up toartists around the county who would like the assistance.

The second round of Boot Camp could begin as early as Fall 2010.

He and his family have enjoyed many downtownfestivals and arts events in Canton, and he’s eagerto truly join the community.

“I reached out to my friend Judi Christy atArtsinStark a few months ago, and the immediate,welcoming embrace I felt from the Arts Council,the Canton Development Partnership and otherorganizations in Canton has been overwhelming,”explained Boyett. “As soon as I started talking tothem, I knew that this was going to be an awe-some move.”

Boyett’s work is a reflection of his life: whimsicaland frequently unpredictable. Influenced by brightcolor combinations found in tropical plants andunusual forms in saltwater creatures, his work isoften comprised of conventional forms with unex-pected adornments.

What can we expect from our new residentglass master when he opens his doors inCanton? You will find the Glass Works gift shopfilled with beautiful bowls, giftware and glasssculptures, some more eccentric than others. He’sespecially eager to invest in making goblets, anotoriously difficult piece for glassblowers to cre-ate. Best of all are his plans for putting the newstudio through its paces with some experimenta-tion.

“There’s a technique that involves casting andblowing with sand, the result of which is a creationlike you’ve never seen. I’m excited about the possi-bilities of the new studio.”

Other things to look for include in-depth work-shops for aspiring glass artists at all levels of expe-rience. The longtime artisan has shared his skill

with more than 500 people over the years, andhe plans to offer a variety of workshops at thedowntown facility. In his words, when it comes toteaching the art of glass blowing, he’ll steer, buthis students get to handle the gas!

Canton Glass Works will be located at 429Fourth Street NW (on the corner of Fourth St.and McKinley Ave.). This new venture will markthe first time that Boyett has been solo at his craft,and he’s itching to get started creating uniquepieces!
