ANNOUNCING MOMENTUM 2020
In 2020, Momentum will be shifting to a combination of virtual and discoverable elements to safely engage attendees in arts and culture experiences in response to COVID-19 and restricted public gathering. Momentum activity will kick off on September 17th online and in downtown Toledo and continue through mid-October.
Discoverable Activities are self-guided and promote exploration of the downtown and uptown areas. They include exploration of existing public art infrastructure along with new projects and activities.
Virtual Activities are designed to promote artists and provide safe access to artwork. They will provide the opportunity to connect visual artists with sales opportunities and exhibitions and provide access to audiences for performing and literary artists.

Thank You Toledo
We are overwhelmed with pride in our city and gratitude for the many individuals and organizations who came together to make Momentum happen! We hope you were awed by world-class art, learned something new from a local maker, danced with friends, or contemplated new music, all while taking in the view of our waterfront and city skyline. We love the creativity in our community-thank you to all of the philanthropic partners, artists, makers, musicians, performers, food vendors and volunteers!
