Matt McClure, University of Toledo Alumni Association Board President, congratulates local artist Eamon King, a scientific glassblower at UToledo, for winning the Best of Show Award at Sunday’s 32nd Art on the Mall.
Hosted by the UToledo Alumni Association, the annual event at Centennial Mall featured more than 100 local and national artists in a variety of mediums including acrylic, glass, oil, mixed media, metals, wood, watercolors, textiles and jewelry.
“Even with the summer heat, the energy was incredible,” said Ansley Abrams-Frederick, director of Alumni Programming. “The morning crowds were strong, and once again our community showed up with their trademark support and enthusiasm. The campus never looks more beautiful than when we host Art on the Mall — it’s such a wonderful setting for the event. After 32 years, this show continues to thrive thanks to the artists, volunteers and everyone who makes it such a special tradition.”
The winners for the 2025 Art on the Mall are:
• Best of Show: Eamon King;
• First Place: Christina and Dennis Jacobs;
• Second Place: Aya Kang;
• Third Place: Teresa Peterson;
• Purchase Award: Linda Fioritto;
