On June 13 the Glass City's arts community is once again showing off the immense concentration of creativity that is thriving downtown during the Arts Commission of Greater
Toledo's Thursday Art Walks. The second Thursday of the month will highlight the galleries, businesses and the artists that make up the "Arts Zone" area of Downtown Toledo—which is bordered by the Warehouse District and UpTown neighborhoods. The walkable routes and many sights & sounds transform the Arts Zone into an open gallery. This year the UpTown District Association is opening up Adams St. with more food vendors and artists along the street, as well as, circus performers, music and outdoor films. “Walkers” can also engage in different art projects like transforming a piece of “urban cast off” into a colorful 3D art form at Manos Community Garden with Lourdes University Art Students and Staff. And there will be pedicabs available for fun, scenic rides back and forth from the Warehouse District to UpTown. For more information on how to register as a food or arts & crafts vendor for upcoming Art Walks visit www.uptowntoledo.com. Thursdays, June 13-September 12, 6-9pm. Free.
