Over 60 pieces of artwork were juried into the show, in mediums including painting, glass, ceramic, printmaking, drawing, wood and steel sculpture, photography and mixed media. Exhibited artwork and juried honors were selected by a distinguished guest judge, Charles A. Shepard III, President & CEO of Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Over $4,000 in awards will be announced at the free and open-to-the-public Opening Reception and Award Ceremony on June 17, 2022 from 5-7:30pm at The University of Toledo’s Center for the Visual Arts; the Award Ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m. The exhibit will continue through August 6, 2022.

Continuing the Toledo Federation of Art Societies (TFAS) tradition since 1918 of coordinating juried regional exhibitions, TFAS is once again installing its now-biennial juried exhibition for artists in the greater-Toledo region. This year, the exhibit is hosted by The University of Toledo, Department of Art, at the Center for the Visual Arts. The exhibit will present more than $4,000 in awards, including the $1,000 Founders Best of Show Award, sponsored by the 1917 founding organizations of TFAS: Toledo Museum of Art, Athena Art Society and Tile Club of Toledo. Other awards include the Kingston Healthcare Purchase Award. The Kingston Healthcare Purchase Award enables the acquisition of an outstanding artwork for the prestigious Toledo Federation of Art Societies’ permanent public collection, acquired from 1948 to the present.
