Akillian Gallery

The Akillian Gallery opened in the spring of 2003 and is named in memory of James Akillian, who spent more than twenty years as assistant dean and business manager at the Canton campus of Massasoit Community College. The visually welcoming space, uniquely designed to maximize natural light, minimize structural elements, and encourage an intimate art experience, hosts numerous exhibitions, lectures, and meetings throughout the year. Exhibitions include works by Massasoit visual arts students and faculty, as well as local art associations and regional artists. The Akillian is also available to local community organizations on a limited basis.
