THE ART OF SPORT

In partnership with the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo and the Toledo Mud Hens, The Blade is proud to present the “Art of Sport,” now a digital exhibition featuring poignant sports moments captured in the Blade’s private archives that honor Toledo’s legacy of sports heroes and stories, its milestones and significant sporting events, moments, and quirky notables throughout history.

This unique marriage of art and sports in Toledo pays homage to the decades of talented photographers, writers, and other creatives who’ve shaped our local culture and collective memory through fine sports journalism and photography.
