Located behind the Mercedes-Benz dealership on Highway 111/<br />

East Palm Canyon. The Backstreet Art District has been featuring<br />

local artists for the past 5 years. The complex is composed of<br />

a variety of spaces where artists have their galleries and some<br />

also have a working studio. Most of the galleries are open from<br />

11 - 4 weekdays, however, the working artists m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>n their<br />

own personal schedules and flexibility is the concept. All of the<br />

galleries are open the first Wednesday of every month from 6-9<br />

p.m. for the FIRST WEDNESDAY ART WALK displaying recent art<br />

that has been created.<br />

There is a rich diversity representing the arts found in the<br />

Backstreet District. A few of the artist’s galleries were featured<br />

in this column during the past year. The Maxson Studio and<br />

Gallery is one featured in the <strong>DDG</strong>. Included in their exhibits<br />

is the art and craft of Greg and Linda Maxon. Linda works<br />

in ceramics and found organic objects and Greg works with<br />

wood in constructing creative works from decorative boxes<br />

to unique tables. They also feature the work of other artists<br />

and craftspeople. The Tom Ross Gallery was also featured last<br />

year. Tom works on clear acrylic panels p<strong>ai</strong>nting images on<br />

them. These individual panels are arranged around the inside<br />

of the gallery showing a continuous p<strong>ai</strong>nting evolving from<br />

underwater to landscape fantasy scenes. Each panel tells a story<br />

within itself and also acts entirely as a stand-alone p<strong>ai</strong>nting<br />

which can be removed from the panorama of p<strong>ai</strong>ntings.<br />
