Art Makes a Difference, Just Ask Simon
Art makes Simon happy; he just plain likes it. The Annual Fund helps children like Simon come to the museum to be amazed and inspired by art, find ways to express themselves and share their joy with others.

Contributions to the Annual Fund provide essential support for The Dayton Art Institute’s overall operation.

A strong Annual Fund ensures the fiscal vitality of the Art Institute, enabling the museum to maintain and grow its collection, continue to bring world-class special exhibitions to Dayton and serve as an important source of education and enjoyment for residents of the greater Miami Valley.

Art Education in the Experiencenter

The Annual Fund is also a resource that provides unique art learning experiences for the youth in our community - from classes and Art Camps to our Experiencenter (pictured at left). Your personal commitment to The Dayton Art Institute's Annual Fund will help to ensure that the arts and arts education maintain a strong presence in the Miami Valley. Art does make a difference in lives ... just ask Simon.
