The Connecticut Scissorhands opening reception at the Gallery on the Green in Canton was so much fun! I kind of groaned about going because it is an hour and a half drive, each way, and I was going solo, and I'd be driving home at night, which is not my favorite thing to do.
But I'm so glad I went! It is a wonderful show!

There was a fabulous turnout - it was opening night for three shows - one in each of their three galleries, which made for an awesome collection of art lovers and artists, connecting over food, wine, and ... you know ... ART.
Canton apparently has a strong community of art lovers - the Canton Artist's Guild bills itself as Connecticut's oldest running artist's guild. The guild has been hosting shows at its Gallery on the Green since 1960.
