COMING IN 2021

The Glass City River Wall is a multi-phased artistic installation at the ADM grain silo facility in Toledo, Ohio. It will provide a stunning and welcoming visual to the gateway of our city with a universal and inclusive message of hope and positivity. The goal is to showcase our city’s dedication to the arts and urban renewal, while telling a story about our rich and vibrant cultural history - past, present and future. Additionally, their intention is to highlight ADM’s mission of sustainability and strengthening communities.

Not only will the GCRW further lift Toledo’s global reputation as a community dedicated to the arts, it will enhance quality of life, connecting the community through education and economic development.

ADM is a Chicago-based corporation recognized as a global leader in nutrition. They are the world’s premier agricultural organization and processing company, with a focus on providing access to nutrition worldwide.

The GCRW team has partnered with ADM to promote cultural awareness and beautification, under the supervision and guidance of the GCRW Steering Committee.
