Museum Rental

The Dayton Art Institute provides a unique backdrop for your special event. From corporate parties to weddings and concerts, the Art Institute has a wide variety of beautiful space options.

Facility Rental Fees are based on a four-hour time period. The rental fees include use of the facility (space rented), all tables, up to 250 chairs, as well as security and facility personnel required by The Dayton Art Institute. You must be a member of The Dayton Art Institute to hold an event in the museum (see membership information for details). Those museum members that maintain the status of Jefferson Patterson Society, as well as the Circle levels of Renaissance Corporate Society, receive a 20% discount on rental fees. Corporations (for profit) wishing to hold business or social functions must be annual corporate members.
