Essential Artists Mixer

Join Essential Artists Dayton and the Dayton Society of Artists for an in-person gathering of artists from across the Dayton and Miami Valley arts community.

With many artists already connected through both Essential Artists and the Dayton Society of Artists, this casual mixer is an opportunity to get together in person, share artwork, exchange ideas, and strengthen connections within our creative community.

Bring a piece of artwork—or a few works—to share with your fellow artists. Finished pieces, works in progress, sketchbooks, and new ideas are all welcome. Come ready to talk about what you’re creating and see what other local artists are working on.

Pizza and beverages will be provided.

Whether you're involved with Essential Artists, the Dayton Society of Artists, both, or simply interested in connecting with other artists, you're welcome to join us.

Location:
Dayton Society of Artists
