A reception for the Toledo Poetry Sidewalks project will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the plaza in front of the National Museum of the Great Lakes, 1701 Front St. in the Marina District in East Toledo. This new public art project, funded by the City of Toledo’s 1% for Art Program, solicited short poems and literary works that would engage pedestrians in thoughtful conversation and provide an enjoyable, inspirational outdoor reading experience. All ages were encouraged to submit work. The Arts Commission received more than 70 submissions addressing a theme of the Great Lakes from 54 local poets, and a seven-member board selected five poems to be stamped into cement. Winning submissions came from Tracey Mahler, Courtney Fillion, Zac Gilley, Leonard Kress, and Betsy Rose Ujvagi, each of whom received $150. This is the first phase of the poetry sidewalks project.
