Arts Gone Wild at TMA
Written by Kristen Criswell | | krapin@toledofreepress.comToledo Museum of Art (TMA) will host the Arts Gone Wild exhibition from July 16 to August 15.
Arts Gone Wild is an annual summer event sponsored by 15 area arts and cultural organizations. Previously, the event has been a two-day festival, but this year the event will be a month long.
“Basically, the group of arts organizations is reevaluating the goal and what they hope to accomplish with Arts Gone Wild. We’re trying to develop programming an impact that goes beyond one or two days — we’re looking at things that are more collaborative efforts throughout the year,” said Kelly Garrow, TMA director of communication.
The exhibition will kick off with a special event. Throughout the day presentations from various groups will take place.
A Native American interpreter from Sauder Village will teach about Northwest Ohio in 1803, as well as weave a traditional native bag 3 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Students from the Toledo School for the Arts will perform from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. and the Toledo Ballet will present Aquarius from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., both in the Great Gallery.
The monthlong exhibit will feature individual vignettes from each organization which will provide a perspective of what various Arts Gone Wild members do, Garrow said.
Sponsor organizations include Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, Imagination Station, Sauder Village, Toledo Ballet, Toledo Botanical Gardens, Toledo-Lucas County Library, Metroparks of the Toledo Area, Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo Opera, Toledo Symphony, Toledo Repertoire Theater, Toledo School for the Arts, Toledo Zoo, Valentine Theater and WGTE.
