UToledo Students Curate Online TMA Exhibition

Twenty-five students at the University of Toledo have curated and designed a fully online exhibition titled "Birds in Art: Devotion and Decadence" for the Toledo Museum of Art. Featuring 32 works from the museum's permanent collection—including paintings, sculpture, decorative art, and photography—the exhibition explores humanity's complex relationship with birds through themes of spirituality, fashion, science, and hunting. Students from the Art Museum Practices and Graphic and Interactive Design programs collaborated on every aspect, from artwork selection and label writing to website design and marketing, working directly with museum staff.

Guest Artist Exhibition Opens at Center for the Visual Arts

The University of Toledo Department of Art will host a free public exhibition of photographs and installation works by guest artist Margaret LeJeune, opening August 25 at the Center for the Visual Arts. Titled "Drawn from Memory: Mapping Salt and Time," the exhibition examines ecological shifts in Dare County, North Carolina, including the transformation of coastal forests into ghost forests due to saltwater intrusion and rising sea levels, while also addressing histories of colonialism, enslaved Africans and their descendants, and Indigenous displacement. LeJeune will give an artist talk on September 24, and the show runs through October 10.
