About this Event
This March, The Midweek Exchange welcomes one of Toledo’s most influential cultural leaders for an intimate, high-level conversation inside the Vibrant Lounge.We are honored to host Adam M. Levine, Edward Drummond and Florence Scott Libbey President, Director and CEO of the Toledo Museum of Art.Since assuming leadership in 2020, Dr. Levine has guided the Museum through one of the most ambitious periods in its modern history. From a transformative campus-wide reinstallation, the first in more than 40 years, to expanding the endowment by more than $100 million and doubling the acquisitions budget, his tenure represents a bold rethinking of what a legacy institution can be in a rising Midwest city.But this session is not a lecture. It is a living room conversation.Inside the soulful atmosphere of the Vibrant Lounge, Members will engage directly with Dr. Levine as he unpacks:• What it really takes to modernize a 120-year-old institution
• How museums can serve as civic change agents in a $2.2 billion regional renaissance
• The strategy behind TMA’s reimagined galleries and global storytelling approach
• The Museum’s lens on blockchain technology and its implications for art, ownership, and cultural stewardship
• The balance between tradition, innovation, and financial sustainabilityThis is exactly what The Midweek Exchange was built for: unfiltered dialogue with the people actively shaping Toledo’s future.Why This Conversation Matters to TolHouse Members- The Builders will gain perspective on how cultural infrastructure supports economic momentum.
