Culture Works Dayton

?? Reflecting on a Productive Board Retreat! ?? Culture Works Dayton enjoyed a successful board retreat yesterday, and we couldn’t be more excited about the path ahead! ?? Our commitment to supporting the vibrant arts community in the Dayton region remains stronger than ever. Thanks to Ricia Ballas from The Compass Group and Adriane H Miller from NCCJ for their presentations! From reinforcing inclusivity and belonging in our grant application processes to ensuring accessible opportunities, we are taking meaningful steps to empower artists, creators, and arts organizations in our region. Together, we envision a future where the arts continue to thrive and impact our community. Thank you to everyone who contributed to these important discussions. We look forward to building a brighter, more inclusive future for the arts in Dayton! ???? #DaytonArts #CommunitySupport #Inclusivity #ArtsAndCulture #BoardRetreat #FutureOfTheArts

We're so pleased that Dorie Watts of Culture Works was chosen to serve as one of thirteen members selected from across the country on this important committee! The Americans for the Arts Conference 2025 will be in June in Cincinnati and will bring over a thousand arts administrators and artists to the area to convene, refresh and learn.

Join us congratulating our President and CEO, Lisa Hanson! She was recently named one of Ohio Business Magazine’s 2024 Ohio Success Award recipients! Culture Works Board Chair, Stacey Lawson says “...Lisa’s commitment to supporting artists and arts organizations in our region has been tremendous in allowing them to grow, succeed, and achieve their missions, making the Miami Valley a wonderful place to live, work, and play.”

Culture Works is seeking community members with knowledge of and passion for the arts to serve on the grant panels and selection committees that will award 2024-2025 funding to Dayton Region artists and organizations.
