Toledo, Ohio. Mickey Finn announces that his Pub is hosting glass artisans on Wednesday nights through the rest of the summer. Working in a studio set up in Mickey Finn’s Pub event area, local artists produce glass creations through working with glass at the torch and in other formats.

Jeff Mack, a glassmaker and the manager of the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) glass studio, is coordinating these live glassmaking demonstrations. Referring to successful studio artists and weekend hobbyists, he said, “The one thing that these people all seem to share, and something that always inspires me, is their passion, that thing that drives them to create with such a difficult material.” Since it is more affordable and requires less space to be a flame worker than to use traditional glass furnace techniques, many of these artists set up a home studio. “This gives these artists more time with the glass, more opportunity to feed their passion, and space enough to apply their vision and fantasy to glass,” Mack said.

Mickey Finn’s Pub is pleased to host these local artists with a space to showcase their talents, bringing them out of their basement and garage studios to perform these demonstrations. Finn encourages the public to stop by and check out the flights of fancy formed at the flame.

Wednesday evenings, 9:00 p.m.– midnight, no admission charge.

The people of Japan created some of the most opulent personal accessories during the Edo Period (1615-1868) in order to attach inro (cases) to their elaborate silk clothing. Japanese artists invented miniature sculptures known as netsuke (pronounced NET-skeh) as fasteners for luxury-loving Japanese citizens.

The Egypt Experience introduces visitors to the conversations between the living and the dead that were a fundamental part of life in Egypt for thousands of years. A series of specially built intimate chapels and tomb-like spaces display artifacts from the funeral rituals and graves of both royal and non-royal Egyptians. Among other storied individuals, visitors will meet the Old Kingdom court official Akhet-hotep, the New Kingdom chief physician Amunhotep, the Roman princess Tamesia and the early Christian deaconess Aplonanne.

TMA’s two mummies (gifts in 1906 from Museum’s founders Mr. and Mrs. Edward Drummond Libbey) will be on view, along with information about their lives and deaths thanks to research by The Toledo Hospital. Carved and painted tomb sculptures, the coffin of the lady Ankh-Tesh, funerary boats and models, canopic jars, shabtis and beautiful yet heart-rending grave gifts also are displayed in the dramatic series of galleries. Objects from the Museum’s permanent antiquities collection area enhanced by beautiful and significant loans from sister museums reveal the secrets of the tomb.

Admission is free for TMA members. Admission for nonmembers is $10 for adults, $5 for children and $3 for students in school groups.]]> Lower Level Egyptian Gallery, Main Museum
TMA’s popular mummies return to public view for this exploration of ancient Egyptian beliefs about life and the afterlife. Believing that if they lived good lives they would pass to a better world after death, Egyptians spent enormous effort to ensure the preservation of both body and spirit. Tombs were built for use as eternal homes, places for living after death with ritual prayers, food and drink, and all the good things of life.

Known for the larger-than-life scale of his work and his use of vibrant colors, Columbian painter, sculptor and draftsman Fernando Botero (b. 1932) has a style instantly recognized as his alone. Inspired by baroque painters but grounded by his Latin American roots, he depicts the comedy of human life—moving or wry, sometimes with mocking observations, sometimes with deep, elementary emotions.

Working in a broad range of media, Botero creates a world of his own, at once accessible and enigmatic. Art Service International organized this traveling exhibition that presents 100 of Botero’s paintings, sculptures and drawings, the first retrospective exhibition of Botero’s work in the United States since 1978.
