Excerpts from the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo Web site:
Art Galleries and Artists' Studios in Downtown Toledo open from 6:00pm-10:00pm with Free Gallery Bus Loop between Venues
Want a buffet of art and creativity? Get on the bus.
Meet & Greet Gallery Loops return this year with a new twist!
The Gallery Loops will feature not one, but two Loops circling two separate parts of Downtown Toledo simultaneously, each Loop boasting two buses a piece, and joined together at one Transfer Location. Why? It’s simple: If you get to more venues faster, you get to absorb more art.

The Red Loop will explore the Arts Zone, Warehouse District, and lower Uptown, while the Blue Loop ventures into Uptown proper and the Old West End. Want to change Loops? It’s easy, you can transfer lines and buses at the 333 Gallerie at Toledo School for the Arts.
The Gallery Loops are a biannual event, offered in the spring and fall each year as part of the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo’s Live Work Create Toledo program, which explores concepts of economic revitalization through the arts.
