First impressions are important, and Glass City mural artists are ensuring that Toledo visitors are getting the entrance they deserve with two beautiful additions to the periphery of I-280. Recently installed is a 6,000 square foot, kaleidoscopic vision of purple, lime, dark blue and sky blue, entitled Fort Industry, installed by artist Molly Dilworth, and commissioned by the Arts Commission. Fort Industry covers two sides of the Toledo’s Parks Maintenance building, near downtown, and is best seen between the Greenbelt Parkway and Manhattan Boulevard. In addition, Art Corner Toledo is working with local artist Gail Christofferson (check out our exclusive interview about her Bonnaroo-approved “See the Music” installation) to create a glass mosaic mural, to be installed near the Downtown Exit from southbound I-280. The finished piece will weave together the diversity and experiences of Toledo residents. Help complete the vision by donating scrap glass of all sizes, shapes and colors during July and August.
