What Art Does the Community Want?
I recently spoke with John Kluth, owner of The Open Space Art Gallery in Kent, Ohio. He dedicates one section of his gallery to contemporary and ancient Vietnamese art and uses the remaining section of the gallery to display his own work. Sales are slow, but I admire his effort to involve the community with his gallery. Kluth even attends local markets to promote his gallery. "I have decided that Kent needs marmalade with its art," he says.
