Toledo's Annual Arts + Culture Festival

Momentum Festival 2024

Join us for Momentum 2024 on September 20-22! This year's festival will be on N. Superior St., between Madison Ave. and Adams St., with both indoor and outdoor spaces for guests to explore. This space provides an opportunity to utilize Toledo's fabric and architecture to create a sense of density, focus, and intimacy.

The Local Artist Exhibition will provide venues for shared experience and connection for our local artists. Anchor Art - large scale, interactive, and spectacle artworks - will be placed throughout the event to encourage moments of discovery for attendees. The Momentum | Intersection glass exhibition will open Friday, September 18th at the Toledo Museum of Art’s Glass Pavilion. An Artist Market will be set up Saturday & Sunday with work available for purchase from local sellers. Performances of all types and a Film Showcase will happen throughout the weekend. Food and drink will be available at various food truck and bar locations.

BUILDING MOMENTUM

The story of Momentum is a celebration of community and the arts in Toledo. Nothing is a truer embodiment of this story than the Momentum | Intersection Exhibition. Started in 2018, a year after the festival's inaugural season, Intersection is an exhibit of glass art like no other.

The 2024 Exhibition features work from Gabriel Peña, Matthew Hutchinson, and Davin Ebanks. Their work will be on display at the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion, 2444 Monroe St., from September 18 to October 27 with an artist reception on Wednesday, September 18.

This exhibit would not be possible without the ongoing partnership with NSG Pilkington and the Toledo Museum of Art.
