20 North Gallery opened its doors on N. St. Clair Street in 1993 with a mission: to provide a commercial venue for emerging and established artists to sell their work and bring quality art to Toledo. Though that goal was accomplished with dignity and class, the downtown landmark (the oldest independent gallery in Toledo) will close its doors this month. Owner of 20 North Gallery Eric Hillenbrand, Art Director Emerita Peggy Grant and Art Director Condessa Croninger will say good bye and thank you to the community with a 20th Birthday Celebration Party on Friday, May 24 from 6-9pm. This farewell will be something of a celebration, too, as they’ve represented over 200 artists in many notable exhibits, featuring nationally-known artists such as Tom McGlauchlin, Edith Franklin, Walter Chapman, and others. Their final exhibition, All Good Things…, will present a retrospective of two decades of the gallery’s triumphs in the arts. 20 North Gallery 18 N. St. Clair. 419-241-2400. www.20northgallery.net — JT
