Mark your calendars! On Friday, September 25, 2026, LOOP Youngstown Arts + Culture invites community members to document the Youngstown region (Trumbull and Mahoning) on a single day for our new project: A Day in the LOOP.

This is your chance to show what life here looks like by capturing the spirit of our region—its people, places, and everyday stories—through photography, video, writing, or other art forms. What story do you want to tell about this moment in time and place?

The chosen works will be published and archived on LOOP Youngstown’s website, creating a shared snapshot of life in the region. You can submit up to two pieces, either on your own or with a group (think class projects, clubs, or creative friends teaming up). All you need to do is pre-register to join in.
