The Dayton Visual Arts Center has about 800 members - artists and art supporters who like to see, make and talk about art. Our events are perfect for people who want to meet artists; visit art spaces; learn about collecting; enjoy social occasions with like-minded individuals; and explore their own personal connection to contemporary visual art. These events also provide vital operating support for our nonprofit organization, helping to support the exhibitions and educational programs we offer.
Artist Palate parties - intimate gatherings in the homes of area collectors and the studios of regional artists - take place about 10 times each year. Our annual Art Auction happens every spring.
DVAC also offers periodic public art-making events, workshops, critiques, artist dialogues and more. Check this page often for details of events and programs - past, present and future!
