78 Artists Chosen for 94th Toledo Area Artists Exhibit
Works of art by 78 artists have been chosen for the 94th Toledo Area Artists
Exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art. Of the 642 works submitted, 96 were selected for the show.
The juried exhibition, which offers an eclectic mix of works in a variety of media, is organized by the Museum with support from the Ohio Arts Council. The exhibition will be on display Feb. 1–April 14 in the Works on Paper Gallery. Admission to both the exhibition and the Museum is free.
The TAA exhibition is widely recognized as the most important juried show in this region. As one of the few regional exhibitions of its kind in the nation, it is also the longest running. This year eligibility was expanded to artists living within a 150-mile radius of the Museum. Previously only work by residents of seven counties in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan were eligible for consideration.
Artist Joe Fig and TMA Mellon Fellow Kate Nesin are serving as jurors for this year’s
show.
Exhibition awards, including Best of Show and special prizes sponsored by the Toledo Federation of Art Societies, will be announced during opening ceremonies at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1 in the Museum’s Great Gallery.
Artists included in this year’s exhibition are eligible to be considered for a one-person exhibition at the Museum, an award presented at every other TAA exhibition. Leslie Adams was the first recipient of the Solo Exhibition Award at the 93rd TAA exhibition. Her exhibition, Leslie Adams: Drawn from Life, ends Jan. 13 in the Museum’s Gallery 18. The next winner will be announced at the 95th show.
