The first floor Founders Gallery features a members themed exhibition Endless Summer. This showcases the diversity of styles and media employed by our talented 100 plus juried artist members. The work speaks of the joy of summer, including work inspired by summer landscapes observed and interpreted form across New England and around the world. Artists also celebrate the bounty of the summer harvest of nature’s bounty, and may include portraits those who take advantage of summer’s warmth and even those who tend the earth. Additionally, the abstractions are inspired by nature’s summer palette of both in forms and colors and a few members even throw in bit of politics, for good measure.

Susan Bradley’s solo exhibition, A Year’s Worth, a 365 day challenge to complete a small sketch and oil painting each day from July 21, 2024 to July 20, 2025 is exhibited in the Upstairs Gallery. Susan is engaged in a daily practice exercise which is being employed by a number of contemporary artists to spark/inspire their studio practice. Susan earned a B.F.A. in Art Education and Printmaking and an M.F.A. in Painting. She has been an Art Educator at the Renbrook School, Cobb School Montessori and at the Hartford Art School/University of Hartford. Bradley has has never been limited by medium in her creative output which also bridges 2D and 3D realms of art making.

In his second solo exhibition at the Gallery, Winter Fragments on view in the Spotlight Gallery, features photographs by David Lang. Through his conscious decision to use the most powerful camera that we all carry daily in our pockets, the iPhone, and its associated editing software, he captures those moments in the winter landscape where information is randomly revealed to us by the elements. Originally from Michigan, David holds a degree in commercial art from Ferris State University and a degree in photography from Lansing Community College. He exhibits both nationally and regionally with his work recently featured at New Britain Museum of American Art, Five Points Gallery in Torrington and the Vermont Center of Photography in Brattleboro, Vermont.

The Gallery on the Green opened its doors in 1960 becoming one of Connecticut’s longest running artists cooperatives. Incorporated as the Canton Artists Guild, the Gallery offers: for artists, a place to exhibit and sell work and for the public, a unique atmosphere to appreciate and acquire fine art.

The gallery is located near the intersection of Dowd Avenue and Route 44 at 5 Canton Green Road in Canton. Hours are Friday–Sunday, 1–5 pm. The main floor gallery is handicapped accessible.
