Exhibit: The Artistic Life of Aka Pereyma
2024-04-17, 2024-04-18, 2024-04-19, 2024-04-20 | The Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park N, Dayton, OH, 45405, United States
Aka Pereyma’s art, unconventional and visionary, demonstrates a highly personal means of expression. Weaving folk-art traditions with modern artistic styles, Pereyma produced art that expressed her strong ties to her Ukrainian heritage. “I think it is my duty to introduce to the world my Ukrainian culture,” she stated. This exhibition brings together works from throughout her career, from the early 1960s into the 21st century. Not tied to a single medium, Pereyma made paintings, drawings, wood and metal sculptures, needlework, woodblock prints, ceramics and exquisitely intricate designs on pysanky eggs. Recurring themes include Ukrainian folk songs, depictions of birds to represent her love of nature, Adam and Eve (along with leaves and eggs) to symbolize men and women. The works tell stories, often through surreal, densely filled ornamentation. “More is more,” was a favorite saying. A celebration of a local artistic legend, this exhibition will highlight Pereyma’s love of color and bold design.

Join us on 4/20 at 4:20 for the launch of “Acapulco Gold 2.0 Sesh IPA” at the Dayton Taproom, immediately followed by our 4th annual 4/20 Bar Crawl through The Oregon District with The Pizza Bandit – featuring live music in the form of a traveling band of local musicians! Let’s get weird.
Coming in at 4.3% ABV & 28 IBU – Acapulco Gold 2.0 Sesh IPA is a light session IPA with very mild hop bitterness & a dry finish. Both the flavor & aroma are fruity, with notes of white grape & citrus. We look forward to collaborating with our pizza pals at The Pizza Bandit on a new beer every year & this years version is sure to please both hop heads & “hop-cousin” heads alike – as it has added terpenes that add a uniquely dank & resinous aromatic profile to the beer.
4/20 Bar Crawl starts at Warped Wing! Beer tapping will take place at 4:20pm & we’ll enjoy a pint before hitting the streets – if you see us out & about, feel free to say *high* & join us! Crawl ends at Yellow Cab Tavern around 7:30pm to enjoy our themed collaboration pizza, which pairs perfectly with an Acapulco Gold 2.0!
