TOLEDO, Ohio —
The Arts Commission announced the annual Momentum Festival will kick-off this year on Thursday, September 17 and will extend through October.
The festival will be a combination of virtual and discoverable elements in downtown Toledo to safely engage art lovers in a way that aligns with restrictions on public gatherings due to COVID19.
“Through a blend of safe and separate virtual experiences, as well as discoverable artwork that improves public spaces, we will “keep the momentum going” during the pandemic,” said officials with the Art Commission.
Discoverable activities are self-guided and promote exploration of the downtown and uptown areas. They include existing public art infrastructure along with new projects and activities.
Virtual experiences are designed to promote artists and provide safe access to artwork. They will provide the opportunity to connect visual artists with sales opportunities and exhibitions and provide performing and literary artists with access to an audience.
All Momentum Festival events are free.
