The Arts Commission is pleased to announce the 2019-2020 Request for Qualifications for Momentum | Intersection, an opportunity for national artists and designers to develop projects inspired by the properties of Pilkington Glass North America’s (Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd.) wide range of float glasses. Selected projects will be funded with honorarium and material and exhibited at Toledo’s 2020 Momentum Exhibition. We are requesting initial statements of interests and portfolios through June 28, 2019. Jurors Katya Heller and Douglas Heller (Heller Gallery, NYC), Dr. Katerina Rüedi Ray (Professor, Art History, Bowling Green State University), and Kyle Sword (Manager of Business Development at Pilkington North America) will select six artists to tour Pilkington facilities and receive a sampling of glass of their choice. The initial tours will take place during the Momentum festival September 19-21, 2019, with a product introduction for selected artists. The weekend features a free downtown-wide celebration of the transformative vibrancy of the arts for our city and region with a festival of glass, music, art, and makers.
