No summer is complete without it.
The University of Toledo’s Art on the Mall, an annual northwest Ohio tradition for artists and patrons hosted by The University of Toledo Alumni Association, returns Sunday, July 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
UToledo’s 32nd Art on the Mall will spotlight more than 100 artists from around the country and artwork that includes acrylic, glass, pen and ink, oil, mixed media, metals, photography, ceramics and jewelry for viewing and purchase with either cash or credit card directly at an artist’s booth.
The free, public event is at Centennial Mall on The University of Toledo’s Main Campus. Complimentary parking is available in lots 1N, 1S, 2, 10 and 13. A golf cart shuttle service will be available to transport guests and their packages to and from their vehicles.
“The 32nd annual Art on the Mall brings the community together on our scenic campus for a day of creativity and connection,” said William Pierce, UToledo associate vice president of alumni engagement and annual giving and executive director of the UToledo Alumni Association. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate artists from the region, explore amazing works across multiple mediums, and enjoy the vibrant spirit that makes Toledo truly special.”
Art on the Mall will offer activities and entertainment throughout the day, including a young artist area for children and live music, as well as a variety of festival food.
Representatives from Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan will jury the artists’ work. Prizes will be given to the top artists, and UToledo’s Best of Show award will be presented to an artist who is affiliated with the University.
“We’re thrilled to welcome a full slate of artists back to the iconic Centennial Mall,” Pierce said. “Interest in participating has been so strong that we’ve once again expanded into the area surrounding Memorial Fieldhouse to accommodate the growing demand. It’s a privilege to continue this beloved tradition, and we’re gearing up for what should be another great show.”
Art on the Mall is hosted each year by The University of Toledo Alumni Association, and is supported for 2025 by Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, Lexus of Toledo, Mail It, Meredith Party Rentals, 13abc, iHeartRadio, Dominos Pizza, Jersey Mikes and CGS Imaging.
