Art American Rejects
Every year the Toledo Museum of Art holds the Toledo Area Artists (TAA) show. With limited space, however, there are still plenty of local artists whose work does not get accepted. So the folks at PRIZM pick up the slack and put on The Salon des Refusés, to showcase the pieces that were not selected for the TAA. Salon des Refusés has earned a reputation as a proud Glass City fringe exhibition. It started when
“rejected” artists’ works were literally rounded up outside the TMA after being judged, and every year it took place in different locales across the city. PRIZM has been running it the last four years at The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo's Parkwood Gallery, across Monroe Street from the TMA. The show runs from February 1-March 15, so art lovers can catch both shows in one trip. An opening reception with an awards ceremony will take place on February 1, 5-9pm. The Parkwood Gallery, 1838 Parkwood Ave. 419-931-8732. www.myprizm.com—JG
