Art can be viewed from all perspectives — even from hundreds of feet above the ground.

Art at Altitude, an exhibit that opens this weekend at the Secor Metropark’s National Center for Nature Photography, will feature an exhibition of about 50 images taken from drones by Toledo Aerial Media. The photos, various sizes on metal, will show different perspectives of Toledo skylines, farm fields, destinations, landmarks, and remote areas of Metroparks of the Toledo Area. Photos of other U.S. areas will also be included in the show.

An opening reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, and the show will be installed through the end of March.

Toledo Aerial Media owners, Phil Myers and Chris Aldrich, and team member James Jackson are responsible for the images and put together the collection for the show. The Metroparks use the company for a variety of services, including research, communication, and mapping, Metroparks spokesman Scott Carpenter said.

Hours for the gallery are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The center is at 10001 Central Ave., Berkey. For more information on the exhibition, call 419-407-9793. For more information on Toledo Aerial Media, go to toledoaerialmedia.com.

■ Speaking of TMA, readers who participated in Ohio Magazine’s Best of Ohio 2016 Reader’s Poll, voted the museum the best art museum in the state. The non-profit institution, which operates primarily on an endowment from its founder, Edward Drummond Libbey, opened in 1901.

■ The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo has made some staffing changes and additions in the new year.

Lindsay Akens, who has been serving as the arts commission’s community engagement specialist, is now in a newly created role of creative placemaking facilitator. New to the Arts Commission is Jordan Buschur, as marketing coordinator, and Tanasio Loudermill, who is community engagement specialist.

Akens will expand upon her previous role working with neighborhoods to provide artistic opportunities, by using art “to bridge gaps between local organizations and communities.”

Buschur, who is from Northwest Ohio originally, has a master’s of painting from Brooklyn College, and most recently directed the Eisentrager-Howard Art Gallery at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and the Prescott Gallery, a commercial exhibition in Lincoln.

Loudermill, who is the Arts Commission’s newest Americorps member, has been tasked to work with the Old West End Neighborhood Initiatives group to develop programming. He has a bachelor’s degree in film and video from the University of Toledo.

The Arts Commission, which receives 1 percent of its funding from the city, issued a news release that states that the new roles signal growth for the Arts Commission.

■ A former Toledoan has been invited to show her photography work at the European Cultural Center as a part of the 57th Venice Biennale.

Anna Friemoth, 26, who left Toledo to pursue a photography career at the Maryland Institute College of Arts, is raising money to be able to be a part of the exhibition, according to her mother, Penny Gentieu, who still lives in Toledo.

The exhibition, Personal Structures: Time Space Existence, opens May 13 and runs through Nov. 26 at two venues in Venice, Palazzo Mora and Palazzo Bembo.

Friemoth had a solo show last year, Words for Women, at a New York City gallery, and had her photography featured in the Toledo Museum of Art’s 94th annual Toledo Area Artists Exhibition in 2013.

She is the fourth generation of artists in her family.
