Artomatic 419!

The Artomatic 419 Festival returns to downtown Toledo September 18–20, 2026, bringing together more than 100 artists for a one-of-a-kind celebration of creativity at Erie Street Market.

This dynamic, artist-driven festival transforms the historic market space into a vibrant gallery and performance hub featuring visual art exhibitions, live performances, literary readings, film showcases, and experimental works from emerging and established artists across the region.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can explore indoor exhibition spaces filled with paintings, photography, sculpture, mixed media installations, and more. The festival also features main stage and small stage performance areas, where audiences can experience live music, spoken word, film screenings, and other creative performances.

Built on a collaborative model, Artomatic 419 invites artists to help design, curate, and produce the event themselves—creating an atmosphere that is energetic, inclusive, and uniquely Toledo. Many local artists credit the festival with helping launch their careers and connecting them with the city’s thriving creative community.

Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a curious traveler, or simply looking for something inspiring to do in Toledo, Artomatic 419 offers a chance to discover local talent, meet artists, and experience Toledo’s creative spirit up close.
