Interconnected Opening Reception & 2026 Merit Awards Ceremony

About this event

Since 2017, The Arts Commission has awarded grant funding to dozens of local artists through our Accelerator, Project, and Merit Award grant programs. This year we are honored to be able to publicly present the work of our 2025 Grant Program recipients. This group of artists spans a wide range of artistic mediums from musicians, to writers, to visual artists. Join us for an opening reception and presentation of the 2026 Merit Awards on November 8 from 4–6pm at The Portal at Toledo School for the Arts! Light refreshments will be provided during the reception. Attendees can park in the free lot across from the Toledo School for the Arts on Adams Street or there is on street parking available.
