SUMMARY:Art Exhibit Reception: Second Glances
DESCRIPTION:The Second Glances exhibition at the Village Arts Factory returns in February 2026 as a compelling celebration of artistic achievement and creative depth in the Canton community. Drawing inspiration from previous Second Glances shows — which have spotlighted award-winning artists from the Canton Fine Arts Exhibition and invited audiences to explore their work beyond the initial awards display — this year’s exhibition promises a rich\, immersive experience that honors both craft and vision. Join us for the opening reception on Friday\, February 6\, from 6:00 to 8:00pm at the Village Arts Factory. Explore the artwork\, meet the artists\, and enjoy a variety of light refreshments. \nAbout the Exhibit \nFollowing the success of past Second Glances exhibitions that brought juried winners back into focus with expanded bodies of work and artist receptions\, the 2026 show will feature selected 2025 Fine Arts Exhibition winners alongside additional pieces that reflect each artist’s broader creative voice. This Second Glances format allows viewers to “take a second look” at works that first captured juror and public attention in October\, while also discovering new facets of each artist’s practice. \nHighlights will include works by this year’s top honorees from the 31st Annual Canton Fine Arts Exhibition\, such as: \n\nBest of Show: Somewhere We Lied by Sarah Crabtree\nSecond Place: Orange Over Gray by J. Susan Aitken (also the 2025 People’s Choice Award winner)\nThird Place: Hive Mind by Kimberly Raboin\n…along with other merit and honorable-mention award recipients from the juried show.\n\nTogether\, these works — ranging across media including painting\, drawing\, photography\, mixed media\, and more — reflect the diversity\, innovation\, and community-centered creative energy that define Canton’s vibrant local arts scene. Presented in the Village Arts Factory’s welcoming gallery space\, Second Glances offers both longtime art lovers and new visitors a chance to connect more deeply with outstanding regional artists and the stories behind their work. \nFor more information\, please contact: jennifer.collins@cantonmi.gov
