Toledo is full of vibrant, inspiring individuals making a difference through their work and pastimes. From artists and musicians to activists and entrepreneurs, our Creative Natives section highlights those who add a most important element to a cultured community.

Fresh off the great success of Artomatic 419!, visual artist Matt Wolcott is showing two exhibits in the near future. The first is in Columbus, where he continued his art education several years ago. And the second is later this month at Leso Gallery in Toledo: Where it all started. "Progression" and "Persistence" are their titles, respectively. We caught up with this up-and-coming Toledo native to hear more about his work and ambitions. Don't miss the opening reception for "Persistence" on May 25th from 7-9 p.m.
