Hello friends! We will be performing a few songs at this event!
Please join us in celebrating the arts, our community, and the expansion of the fabulous Toledo Metroparks!
As part of Watershed Weekend, The Arts Commission invites the community to Art Loop: Starburst, an evening celebrating public art, creativity and connection along the Glass City Riverwalk.
Guests are encouraged to stroll along the Glass City Riverwalk where art and community come together along the water. The evening will feature live music and dance performances, hands-on artmaking experiences for all ages, and an international vendor fair featuring local makers and global flavors.
The event also marks the debut of Starburst, a 15-foot illuminated sculpture installed along the newly restored International Cove at Glass City Metropark – Upriver. The artwork features community-inspired phrases in multiple languages and reflects the many voices and perspectives that contribute to Toledo’s identity.
Starburst is one of many public works of art that help shape the Riverwalk as a welcoming space for gathering, discovery, and shared experiences along the Maumee River.
