ARTOMATIC
419 Festival
Started in 2017, Artomatic 419 is an annual festival that celebrates Toledo’s vibrant community through arts and culture. Do as much or as little as you want–there is something that will spark a little creativity in everyone!
ARTOMATIC 419 FESTIVAL | SEPTEMBER 19-21 2025
Join the Arts Commission downtown for Artomatic 419 this September! Based on popular demand, and years of requests by local artists, The Arts Commission will again produce Artomatic 419.
This multi-day event, scheduled for September 19-21, will provide access to indoor exhibition space in the underutilized Erie Street Market building located on N. Superior St., between Madison Ave. and Adams St. This festival footprint provides an opportunity to utilize this historical venue to create a sense of density, focus, and intimacy.
More than 100 visual artists will display their work, along with stage performances for literary work, film, and other mediums.
The Artomatic 419 model brings together artists to co-create and execute this unique festival experience that numerous Toledo artists credit with getting their artistic careers off the ground.
