New Arena Construction Pictures

Here are some pictures from the demolition as Toledo builds the new arena. Here is a Blade article that highlights some current info about the project. At first we saw the Subway demolished,

Then we started with this guy:



These are pretty good:

Feel free to send comments about the new arena or share your thoughts about what kind of events you would like to see. I am wondering if the arena plan will have parking or if we will use existing lots around the area. They are destroying a lot of the parking that was over in the area.
More to come...

A view from my computer...

This picture has the surname KRULL at the bottom. I have not been able to find out which artist here actually painted it, but I will someday. I just thought I would share my view with you.

Pat and Beth stopped by yesterday

Local Photographer Pat Saine, aka PJ Saine stopped in to the Secor yesterday. He and Beth were checking out the building and going over to Arto Toledo. Here is a link to his website.

Salvatore Schiciano-- Long Week, well worth it.

I paid Sal to come in and take a few shots, photo shots! Our oil master in residence Sal Schiciano stopped in to have his mug taken. He is a great artist and worked real hard to organize the happenings at The Secor during Artomatic. I finally caught him today while he was cleaning and made him come down. You can check out at least five of Sal's pieces at Churchill's Market in Maumee. There was a great article in this week's Toledo Free Press about Walt Churchill and his family's passion for art. Mr. Churchill will premier Sal's work from September 16th-29th as part of an ongoing commitment to showcase local artists.

Artivism "Art and Activism in a Blender"

That is the logo and belief of co-artist Nate Masternak. He is another Secor Artist who recently unveiled a mural for the Cherry Street Mission. He was around Artomatic this weekend showing off his studio and running some errands dishes! :( Here are some pics of his three part mural on the side of the building.
