Building Communiy

The Toledo Artists' Club is pleased to host ROOTED: Four Guilds, a group exhibition featuring artists from four Toledo Artists' Village organizations.

Artists from the Toledo Stained Glass Guild, Photo Arts Club of Toledo, Toledo Area Glass Guild (Hot Glass), and Toledo Potters Guild are invited to submit their work.

The exhibition will showcase the variety of artwork and creative work being made by members of these four organizations.

Special Gallery Opportunity

The Toledo Artists’ Club invites members to apply for solo, duo, or small-group exhibitions in the gallery. Several three- to four-week exhibitions are available in the 2027 schedule, offering artists with a sizeable body of work the opportunity to present their art in a dedicated exhibition.

There is no size restriction for artwork included in these exhibitions. For framed work, artists are asked to use acrylic instead of glass, except for pastel pieces. Please do not use sawtooth hangers. All artwork must be equipped with D-hooks to accommodate the gallery’s hanging system.

There is no gallery rental fee. To apply, submit five sample images of your work. Selected exhibitions will run for approximately three to four weeks and will include an evening reception during the exhibition.

The Toledo Artists’ Club will handle all sales and retain 25% of the sale price. Artists will receive a check for 75% of their sales.

Applications are being reviewed on an ongoing basis, and exhibition opportunities for 2027 are limited. If you are interested, please submit your five sample images soon so your work can be considered as available dates are filled.
