Two popular Arts Commission programs will come together, bringing the love of summer and art full circle. The summer Art Walk Series, merged with the Gallery and Holiday Loop programs, comes together for the 3rd Thursday Loop series, kicking off Thursday, May 21 from 5:30-9pm. 2015 will serve as a pilot year for this new, year-round program.
The format invites art lovers of all ages downtown on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Participating galleries will stay open, often with special events or live music, inviting patrons inside. Artists are encouraged to contact The Arts Commission to reserve sidewalk space to be a presence on the scene. Studio spaces and local businesses will also be highlighted during the Loop.
A bus loop will also connect all artists and spaces downtown for patrons. While the 3rd Thursday Loop is free for all participants, the unlimited bus loop rides are $1 per person. For now, bus loop signs will mark the bus stops throughout downtown. It is rumored that future stop identification might be through public art or more permanent signage. For more information, including
The Uptown Green Park (18th & Madison Ave.) will also offer activities during the loop, with Scene on the Green from 6-9pm. The new park will be filled with local artists, vendors, food and entertainment. Scene on the Green will be lively for the May, June, July and August 3rd Thursday Loop. For those interested in participating, pre-registration is required. Application available at uptowntoledo.org/3!events/c1nxa.
