Toledo's Best Party: Friday, May 1
Join us at The Mix for an evening of art, music, people, and possibility as we gather in The Arts Commissionʼs new home and celebrate the vibrant creative community of Toledo.
Engage with interactive art by local artists, enjoy live music and dancing, and try delicious food from local food trucks.
All ticket prices include admission to the event and food. MIX+ tickets include two complimentary drinks, early entry to the event, expedited check-in all evening, and an exclusive live watercolor portrait* by local artist Haily Jane.
Proceeds from The Mix benefit the programs and activities of The Arts Commission, including Artist Services, Young Artists at Work, Art Loop, and Artomatic 419.
