INCENTIVES FOR ARTISTS

Toledo's Artist Network

The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo maintains a strong commitment to supporting the needs of local artists, facilitating gallery openings, quarterly Meet and Greets for artists, and participation in local festivals, helping to coordinate such events as the Jazz Loop.  In September 2006, ACGT coordinated the first Artomatic 419, a non-juried arts festival featuring the work of over 100 artists and combining the talents of performing and visual artists for an entire month.  The festival attracted over 5000 people and relied on the volunteer efforts of community artists who made a priority to adapt an underutilized building in Toledo’s Uptown area for the event.
