TOLEDO, Ohio - Sept. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- The Gallery at the Davis Building will host An Evening with the Stars on Thursday, September 12, 2013, from 6 to 9pm, featuring live demonstrations, performance art, and a curated collection of crafts and fine arts, all by emerging, local artists.

The event, sponsored by Art Explosion Toledo, takes place during the final Art Walk of the summer season. Admission is free.

The evening will include a glass-blowing demonstration by Bob-O Glass, fire-breathing by KC St. John, and poetry readings by Huntor Prey, among other live presentations.

In the outdoor Gallery space, guests can browse a wide variety of craftworks and interact with the local artisans. Inside the Gallery, they can view the fall showcase, Emerging Stars, which will run from September 1, 2013, through October 5, 2013.
