Mission
The mission of the Dayton Society of Artists is to connect, support, and educate artists and the community.

85 Years and Counting!
A collaborate alliance of artists since 1938, the Dayton Society of Artists celebrated its 85th Anniversary in 2023.

Art & Education
The exhibition calendar includes seven exhibitions a year that are free and open to the public with opening receptions on the first Friday of the month. The DSA aims to provide art engagement opportunities to the public and support working artists through educational opportunities.

Grant Received!
The DSA and Spire Arts received a 2018 joint Ohio Arts grant to expose Spire Arts clients to new materials, create a community project, and exhibit the artist's work at the DSA during June 2019 .

In 2022, the DSA received funding from the Ohio Arts Council for Strategic Planning and funding from OAC, MCACD, and Culture Works for Workshops. 

Thank you!
