Art in the City to return to downtown Dayton this summer

Art in the City will return to downtown Dayton to celebrate visual and preforming arts Saturday, Aug. 5.

The Downtown Dayton Partnership is once again teaming up with hundreds of Dayton-area arts organizations and artists to put on this summer celebration. Last year’s Art in the City festival featured over 300 local artists as they danced, sang, played instruments, painted, made pottery, quilted, preformed magic and more. Nearly 20,000 people attended to arts showcase and contributed over $35,000 to the local artists and art organizations involved in the event.
