Our current Community Outreach Program is focused on providing access to unique art making experiences for youth and intergenerational audiences with emphasis on the 2-mile radius around the museum, with an additional focus on the East Side. Our partnerships include the Lucas County Metro Housing Authority, public libraries, local community centers, churches, Toledo Public Schools, Community Events around the city and now Senior Centers. Most of this programming is held off site.

Ellie, the Baby Dragon is a mobile glassblowing furnace that allows the Toledo Museum of Art to share it's history in glass art with an audience outside of TMA’s campus. She was donated to TMA by Majida Mourad who named the Baby Dragon Ellie, after her mother, Elham “Ellie” Mourad. The Outreach efforts typically operate within a 2-mile radius of the Museum. Ellie has visited local schools, libraries, parks, community centers, public celebrations, senior centers and more.
