The Dayton Society of Artists (DSA) is pleased to present our annual spring juried show, PEACE TALKS. Dayton, Ohio has a unique place in history as the city where the Dayton Peace Accords ended the Bosnian War in 1995. Nearly three decades later, the world continues to grapple with the delicate balance of peace and conflict. This exhibition examines how peace is never guaranteed—it is negotiated, upheld, and sometimes broken. Artwork submitted should engage in the conversation of the complicated nature of peace. The call for art is open to any artist 18 years or older living in the United States. All art in any medium, style, and technique will be considered. Art must be original. The juror is Daniel Esquivia Zapata and $600 will be given in prizes. Submit online at by April 12th, 2025. CALENDAR Entries Due: Sat. April 12th by midnight Emailed Juried Results By: Sat.
