The market provides consumers with an opportuni-ty to buy fresh, quality products at reasonableprices directly from producers. This gives smallfarmers a direct outlet where they can sell the pro-duce and products that they themselves produce.Along with fresh, local produce, the market offersbaked goods, flowers, honey, cheese, eggs andmeat, just to name a few.

More and more, the market creates a festive gath-ering place in the center of our growing ArtsDistrict for the community to come together andgain access to nutrition education, healthy choicesfor family meals, sustainable agriculture, communi-ty resources and art. The market lends itself to cre-ating a higher quality of life for Canton residentsand neighboring communities.

This year the list of activities expands, thanks in partto an ArtsinStark grant, as we invite Elec Simon,currently on tour with the Broadway Show Stomp,to join us on four market days for exciting drum-ming sessions for kids of all ages. We will feature aVeggie Carving Contest in mid-August to showcasethe talents of some local chefs as well as show offthe ‘art’ aspect of food. Throughout the market sea-son local artists will demonstrate their talents in themidst of market-goers. Again, we’ll have great livemusic at each market, local chef cooking demoswith some tasty recipes and delicious samples, freeart classes for children and organic gardeningquestions and answers by local gardening expertCindy Petitti. The list goes on and on and a fullschedule is available on the website.

Come visit each Saturday morning this summer.With over 20 vendors and a slew of activities,you’ll find exactly what you need. The market sea-son runs June 19 to October 16 from 8 to 11:30a.m. every Saturday in the lot at Cleveland Ave. Nbetween Fourth and Fifth Sts. NW, rain or shine.

The market is managed by the Dow n town C a n ton Special Imp rovement Dist rict and is

thankful for its supporte rs: Aultman HealthFoundation, The Re p o s i to ry, Art s i n Sta rk, th eCounty Arts Council, Mix 94.1 and News-Talk1480 WHBC, Canton Regional Chamber ofCommerce and the City of Canton.

There’s even more in store at thisyear’s Canton Farmers’ MarketFor seven years, the Canton Farmers’ Market has been bringing fresh, local food to downtown

Canton. This year’s market is slated to open on June 19th – not soon enough for some. While the

market will certainly have some tasty offerings, it is so much more.

As a third generation Cantonian, I knewthat when I went away to college I wouldbe back, and here I am! I loved all thatCanton had to offer me then as much as Ido now. I am glad to still be a part of it all.

Many of my peers did not return to Cantonand I feel they have really missed out.Canton offers the best of both worlds; it is asmall town but is close enough to the bigcities that we can be there in a flash. If thatweren’t enough, we have a great airportthat helps us to get just about anywhere!

Both of my grandfathers started businessesin downtown Canton, as did my fatherMark Dreyer. Downtown Canton has givenits best to my family and my family hasgiven its best to downtown. I’m proud to bepart of the revitalization happening here.As my father and I watched downtown rejuvenate and enjoyed celebrating FirstFriday each month, we were both proud to see the re-blossoming of the area. It is just amazing to see all the people come out on the coldest, snowiest nights of the year to enjoy what downtown has to offer.

I am currently the president of The RedRibbon Connection. We recently movedour offices into the Canton “Arts District,”and I am happy to say that we’ve jumpedright into the arts movement that has helpedto revitalize downtown Canton. Eachmonth, we spotlight different artists for FirstFriday. It is wonderful that we are able toraise awareness for our organization andthe work we do to provide services, educa-tion and awareness for the HIV/AIDSinfected and affected community, while atthe same time giving talented local artistsan outlet for their work.

All I have to say is yea for downtown!

Jeffrey Dreyer is the president of The RedRibbon Connection.

Tidbits ...

5Looking inside...2nd April Galerie & Studios

efore anyone ever whispered the words “arts district.” Before even the first murmurs of First Friday began rum-bling around downtown, 2nd April Galerie, a downtown arts and entertainment staple, has been offering artistsa venue to splash their creativity around.B

Opened in June 2002 by partners BrennisBooth and Todd Walburn, Second Aprilhas had eight long years of introducinglocal art into the lives of people throughoutStark County and Northeast Ohio.

“Brennis and I had always had the idea inthe back of our minds to open a gallerysomeday. We were in South Carolina work-ing at jobs that made us mostly miserable,”said Walburn. He goes on to describe theattacks on September 11 as a big catalystin bringing 2nd April to fruition, helpingthem to take the plunge to return to Ohioand open the gallery.

2nd April Galerie offers a diverse selectionof art – ranging from traditional fine artpaintings and prints, to photography, fiberarts, mixed media, jewelry and more. Theyseek to feature unique local art, with a spe-cial focus on emerging talent.

Everything about the gallery is unique –including the name. “When we started thebusiness filings, we were trying to find aunique gallery name and they were literal-ly all taken. I found a piece of poetry, Songof a Second April, from Edna St. VincentMillay. We liked the idea of a rebirth, abeginning. The name has been so appro-priate for us because we’ve continued toreinvent ourselves and be a part of the revi-talization of downtown,” said Walburn.

Longtime Champions of the ArtsThe gallery originally began 25 blocksnorth along Cleveland Avenue, but theyquickly moved to their first downtown loca-tion after only a year. 2nd April’s finalmove in October of 2007 came as a resultof the arts explosion dow n town: “Webegan to realize that the arts district wasd eveloping and that we we re on th eperimeter,” said Walburn. “We wanted tobecome more central to all of the activity!”

The new location at 324 Cleveland Avenuehas brought a new set of adventures. 2ndApril is now able to accommodate almosttwo-dozen artists studios in the second floorand neighboring annex. Between the maingallery, eclectic juried shows and the artiststudios, the gallery has featured the workof hundreds of local artists.

In 2008, they added a completely new ele-ment with the addition of the KathleenHowland Theatre. The renovated basementtheatre features fifteen stage performancesa year from local playwrights, performancetroupes, musicians and comedians.

What’s in sto re for 2nd April andCanton’s Arts District“The growth of the arts district and thedowntown area started to develop just asthe economy went south. If it weren’t for themomentum of ga l l e ries, re sta u rants andorganizations dedicated to downtown, wemay not have survived the downturn. I thinkas the economy re c ove rs we’ll see more businesses move downtown,” saidWalburn.

He believes that there are many parallelsbetween Canton’s Arts District and theemergence of the arts in Columbus’s ShortNorth years before.

“We have developers investing in the arts.We have talented artists who are puttingeverything on the line to make it happen.Everyone is risking a lot. I don’t think any ofus would be doing what we’re doing if wedidn’t foresee future success. The more stu-dios and galleries there are the better it isfor all of us!”

2nd April will feature new work by artistsMarti Jones Dixon and Lynn Digby inthe upcoming show Dress Code, openingJune 11. The Kathleen Howland Theatrehas a wonderful lineup of shows, includingTwelve Angry Men, throughout the sum-mer. Visit SecondApril.org for a full sched-ule of upcoming shows, or stop by thegallery at 324 Cleveland Avenue N indowntown Canton Tues. through Thurs., 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
