Mustering Memory: 160 Years of Saluting the Civil War
2022-04-14 - 2023-05-01 | Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center, Spiegel Grove, Fremont, OH, 43420, United States
Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center | April 14 through April 2023
If anything is certain, it is that for 160 years, the United States has been uncertain with how best to remember the Civil War. Each generation has handled the war’s legacy in its own way, often reflecting its own values and experiences in doing so. While the debate will continue on how this difficult subject should be remembered, “Mustering Memory: 160 Years of Saluting the Civil War” provides the often-overlooked history of how people have chosen and still choose to remember the Civil War. From the aged veterans who walked on the fields of Gettysburg for its 50th anniversary to modern enthusiasts who use their vacation time reliving famous battles or scouring Civil War antique shows, this exhibit offers context on where Civil War memory has been and insights for those interested in engaging with it today.
The exhibit will be open during regular museum hours, which are available at rbhayes.org. Members are admitted for free. For non-members, access to the exhibit is included with regular admission.

Bestowing Beauty: Masterpieces from Persian Lands
2022-04-23 - 2022-07-18 | Toledo Museum of Art, 2445 Monroe St, Toledo, OH, 43537, United States
Toledo Museum of Art | April 23-July 17
Levis Gallery
Celebrating the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Persian civilization, Bestowing Beauty: Masterpieces from Persian Lands features over 100 works from the sixth to the nineteenth century drawn from the preeminent Persian art collection of Hossein Afshar. Persia refers to the historic lands in southwestern Asia where the Persian culture and language flourished—a region now associated with the Islamic Republic of Iran, but previously extending beyond its modern-day borders. Through the collector’s eyes, we see a portrait of Iran that manifests a strong sense of identity reflected and affirmed by the visual arts, as well as an artistic sensibility that has permeated across time, space, and medium.
The exhibition showcases textiles, manuscripts, ceramics, paintings, metalwork, scientific instruments, woodwork, and jeweled objects. Highlights include exquisite miniature paintings from the Shahnama (Book of Kings), the Persian national epic; an array of historically significant ceramics; rare Qur’an leaves; and a monumental silk carpet from the height of Safavid carpet production. Bestowing Beauty represents a dedication to preserving Iranian artistic heritage for future generations and a desire to make it accessible for study and enjoyment.
Woven throughout the tales of these extraordinary artworks are experiences, ideas, and emotions shared by all peoples. By evoking universal themes of faith and piety, love and longing, kingship and authority, banquets and battles, and earth and nature, the exhibition brings alive the rich heritage and enduring beauty of Persian art. The artworks also explore the role and fascinating history of trade, migration, and cultural exchange in the development of Persian art, demonstrating its important legacy in artistic and technological advancement within Islamic lands and beyond.
This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Bestowing Beauty: Masterpieces from Persian Lands is supported by presenting sponsors Susan and Tom Palmer and season sponsor ProMedica, with additional support from the Ohio Arts Council, Shumaker Loop, and Taylor Cadillac.

ProMedica Live Summer Concert Series.
Gates open at 5. Tickets at TicketMaster.com.
We Are the Champions is an anthem we have all relished while our team celebrates a victory. Freddie Mercury and Queen gave us so many of these power songs that evoke feelings we often associate with certain life events. In 1993, after the passing of the legendary Mercury, Patrick Myers put together a band to pay tribute to the mythic singer. From the UK, Killer Queen’s first gig was at London University, where Mercury himself once played. They immediately gained a following. Since then the band has honored Queen’s memory by playing giant stadiums worldwide.
Killer Queen is no stranger to our riverfront. On their last visit to Toledo, the crowd erupted, with fans begging for more. We were disappointed that the pandemic grounded them from our 2021 lineup, so we eagerly welcome them back to Promenade Park for their much anticipated 2022 tour.

ProMedica Live Summer Concert Series.
Gates open at 5. Tickets at TicketMaster.com.
One Nation Under a Groove Tour
George Clinton with Parliament-Funkadelic
The Main Squeeze
Robert Randolph Band
George Clinton has dedicated his career to funk. Beginning his exploration of sound in the late fifties, Clinton formed The Parliaments, initially recording for the Detroit-based Revilot Records, which had their first hit single in 1967. Over the years playing with ensembles of up to 50 musicians, Clinton has taken R&B, Soul, and Funk to new heights. Although the names and make-up of his bands have changed through the years, he has remained steadfast in his unique style. He is responsible for chart-topping dance tracks like Flash Light, Aqua Boogie, and One Nation Under a Groove.
Adopted by the early 90s rise of funk-inspired rap, his sound had renewed notoriety. Artists from MC Hammer to LL Cool J and Snoop Dogg depended heavily on the infectious groove of Clinton’s productions as the foundation of their recordings. The music legend was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from the renowned Berklee College of Music and has been inducted into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame.
Before the pandemic, Clinton had gathered a new band and was getting ready to “go hard” on what he thought might be his career culminating tour. Instead, being grounded and without the outlet of the tour, Clinton became a prolific painter and relied heavily on what he called “the Funkosophy” (the philosophy of funk). Rested and ready, Clinton and his band are coming to communicate the groove, bring us the flow, and we will for sure be feeling the whole vibe.

Pat Benatar is a legend. Like many iconic singers, her craft took a new shape in the spring of 1979 when producer and writer Mike Chapman introduced her to Neil Giraldo. Chapman felt Benatar needed a musical director who could establish a more aggressive sound and thought Giraldo was a perfect choice. In Giraldo, Benatar found someone as strong as her who could match the same firepower, someone who could inspire her while being inspired by her. The connection was instantaneous. A perfect fit that has spanned over three decades and has created multiple chart-topping tracks, including Love is a Battlefield and We Belong. Married nearly 40 years, they have sold 36 million albums, won four consecutive Grammys, and recorded 15 Top 40 hits. Today Benatar and Giraldo remain a rock ‘n’ roll powerhouse, selling out concerts and still wowing audiences with their musicianship. Theirs is a chemistry that will, undoubtedly, be thrilling music lovers forever.

Gates open at 5. Tickets at TicketMaster.com.
Craig Morgan is bringing the party and adoration for country music to Downtown Toledo. Morgan makes it evident that God, Family, and his country, are his inspiration for life and his muse for writing his beloved hits. The electrifying country artist creates a lively aura with his radio classic That’s What I Love About Sunday, fan favorites International Harvester and Little Bit of Life, and the smash party anthem Redneck Yacht Club.
The well-known star differentiates from other country artists with his thick southern drawl and proud history of serving his country. A veteran of the United States Army, Morgan served for over 17 years before embarking on his music career. Putting his service and those around him first, he even teamed up with a pair of active duty Army Airborne Rangers to write the hit Sippin’ on the Simple Life, which he ended up falling in love with and adding it to his album. The admired artist also was awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, one of the highest awards to be received by a civilian from the Army. The Grand Ole Opry Member and philanthropist has charted seventeen times on the Billboard country charts. Morgan has often stated that his objective is to inspire people. We expect this will add up to an unforgettable night of country by the riverfront.

Buddy Guy
At age 81, Buddy Guy is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues. Buddy Guy has received 7 Grammy Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, 37 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.”
Guy released his latest studio album Born To Play Guitar in 2015 via Silvertone/RCA Records, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Blues Albums chart. The follow-up to his 2013 first-ever double disc release, Rhythm & Blues, which also debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Blues Albums chart, Born To Play Guitar was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter and Buddy’s longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge. The release features guest appearances by Van Morrison, Joss Stone, Kim Wilson and Billy Gibbons.
These many years later, Buddy Guy is a genuine American treasure and one of the final surviving connections to a historic era in the country’s musical evolution.
John Hiatt
One of the best and most respected songwriters of his generation, John Hiatt was a hero among critics and his fellow musicians long before a larger audience discovered his work as a recording artist. Known for lyrics that can turn from acidic wit to bitter self-examination at a moment’s notice, Hiatt’s work is also dominated by strong, engaging melodies that take rock and blues tropes and reshape them into fresh sounds and the sharp but thoughtful report of his voice.
