Art Ball
June 13, 2026
For 69 years, Art Ball has been the Miami Valley’s premier social event. This annual black-tie event is attended by more than 650 community and corporate leaders, top museum supporters and community patrons, and raises critical funds towards the museum’s mission of bringing art to all. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, June 13, and is hosted by the DAI’s Associate Board.
The evening begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by an elegant sit-down dinner enjoyed throughout the museum. After dinner, Art Ball patrons may enjoy live music, dancing and the ability to take advantage of some of the museum’s most special places: The Hale Cloister and The Museum Rotunda, as well as The Moonlight Lounge, which has a spectacular view of downtown Dayton. Throughout the evening, open bars are available, along with specialty martini and bourbon bars.
