It’s easy to put art on a pedestal and get fussy with it. After all, in a museum, a lot of art is displayed on pedestals. And sure, Greco-Roman nudes are great, but Art History isn’t frozen in marble. We can seriously care about art without only caring about serious art— for some artists, humor and magic are as important as anything learned in art school. Celebrate the creative prowess of these like-minded forms of expression during the October Art Loop: The Art of Comedy & Magic. Coinciding with the Holy Toledo Laugh Fest, the October 3rd Thursday Loop (on 10/20) will present special exhibits and events full of laughs and magic to remind you that sometimes art is funny. See Bird’s Eye View Circus, Magic Shows, comedian Brad Wenzel at Fleetwood’s Taproom, plus an Art Loop Pop-up exhibit, WTF? (Work That’s Funny) at Handmade Toledo. Curated by artist Luke Ellison, WTF? will show humorous art in 2D and 3D. For more info, see online.
