SUMMARY:Second Saturday Poetry Salon
DESCRIPTION:A comfortable environment to share your work or talk about poems and poets who interest you. Poets of all levels are welcome\, but these free programs are intended for adults. \nNovember’s optional prompt is “Confessional.” \nThere will be a short talk at 7:40 on November’s featured poet\, Sylvia Plath\, from queer poet and artist Shailyn Elliott. When Shailyn Elliott isn’t writing\, they can be found crocheting or doodling with watercolors. They currently reside in Ohio with their black cat names Catastrophe. \nGiven the powerful and intensely personal nature of confessional poetry\, we are setting aside the first half-hour or so for poems that are not confessional in nature. Don’t be shy! Come out and read us some poems! \nFree bottled water\, coffee\, and cookies. \nThis program may run longer or shorter depending on attendance.

SUMMARY:How to Make Learning as Addictive as Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Join Sinclair’s Associate Provost Lisa Mahle-Grisez & Assistance Provost\, Jared Cutler\, for a discussion and viewing of the pre-recorded TedTalk by Luis Von Ahn. When technologist Luis von Ahn was building the popular language-learning platform Duolingo\, he faced a big problem: Could an app designed to teach you something ever compete with addictive platforms like Instagram and TikTok? He explains how Duolingo harnesses the psychological techniques of social media and mobile games to get you excited to learn — all while spreading access to education across the world. \nThis event will be held in Sinclair’s Tartan Marketplace\, Bldg. 7\, Room 7006. Once you enter the set of glass doors to building 7 Tartan Marketplace\, the conference room is to your right\, through the doorway across the area of tables. Complimentary parking is available in the garage (Lot C) under Building 12 and parking passes will be provided at the event.

SUMMARY:Guided Downtown Dayton historic walking tours
DESCRIPTION:Many of the places that helped make Dayton a center of innovation were lost to history\, while others survived and adapted\, representing the city’s spirit of revitalization. Some of the city’s distinctive and significant structures were demolished\, while others\, including the Dayton Arcade and Centre City Building\, saw challenging times but now await redevelopment. Explore and learn about the diverse selection of retail\, industrial\, entertainment\, and residential sites on this guided walking tour of Downtown Dayton. \nTours are available on Fridays beginning May 2 and run through October 2025. The cost is $10 per person and reservations are required to attend. \nOur guided downtown walking tours will launch promptly at 5:30 p.m. from the Dayton Arcade entrance on Fourth Street. This 90-minute\, 1.5-mile tour may be deemed strenuous by some\, and patrons should be able to walk/navigate city sidewalks and streets. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a water bottle if needed. Tours will launch rain or shine\, except in the event of thunder or lightning.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Erin Holscher Almazan: What These Arms Hold
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Dayton is proud to present a new body of work by Erin Holscher Almazan. In these gestural oil paintings\, Holscher Almazan examines the physical and emotional changes that naturally occur between a mother and her children\, while reckoning with the fact that as her sons grow older\, they also become more independent. In this series\, she navigates this emotional space of attachment and detachment\, of holding and letting go\, through the use of color with an emphasis on hands and touch. \nErin Holscher Almazan is a Professor of Drawing and Printmaking at the University of Dayton. A native of North Dakota\, she received a BFA in Fine Arts from Minnesota State University Moorhead and an MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. She resides in Dayton with her husband and two sons. In conjunction with the exhibition\, a selection of prints by the artist will be available for purchase in The CoSHOP Pop-up Print Shop.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Christine Gaffney: Well-Balanced
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Dayton is proud to present a solo exhibition of the work of interdisciplinary artist Christine Gaffney. Her sculpture and videos act as intimate self-portraits and reflections on her psyche and the dualities of female identities. Gaffney portrays the dichotomy of what we present to the public versus what we keep to ourselves\, often employing her own body as a sculptural object to express agency and to collapse the relationship between object and maker. \nGaffney is an interdisciplinary artist from Dayton\, Ohio. She holds an MFA from California Institute of the Arts where she studied Art and Technology and Integrated Media. Gaffney also studied Fine Art at Pratt Institute and the Columbus College of Art and Design. She earned a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh. Her practice embraces ideas around body image\, body politics\, feminism\, and disability justice.
