SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Edd McGatha
DESCRIPTION:March 28\, 2026.  6-6:45PM @The Dayton Society of Artists.  48 High Street. Dayton\, Ohio. 45403 \nEnds with a special raffle prize for attendees. \nJoin us for an artist talk with Edd McGatha in conjunction with his exhibition\, 2024/366 Picture of the Day Project. \nIn 2024—a leap year with 366 days—Edd committed to creating a photograph every single day. The only rule: the selected image had to be taken on the specific day it represents. What began as a simple framework evolved into a year-long discipline that resulted in more than 10\,000 images and countless stories. \nDuring this talk\, Edd will share insights into his creative process\, the challenges and discoveries of daily image-making\, and his experience documenting life primarily in Tipp City and Dayton\, with additional work captured during a trip to New York City. Attendees will gain perspective on the rigor\, intuition\, and storytelling behind selecting one image to represent each day.

Direct from Broadway\, comes the acclaimed Tony Award®-winning musical SUFFS about the brilliant\, passionate\, and funny American women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote. Created by Shaina Taub\, the first woman to ever independently win Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score in the same season\, this “thrilling\, inspiring and dazzlingly entertaining” (Variety) new musical boldly explores the triumphs and failures of a struggle for equality that’s far from over. Winner of the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Musical. \n“SUFFS does what all of the best Broadway musicals do: it humanizes and empowers\, and it entertains and moves an audience.” – Chris Jones\, Chicago Tribune

SUMMARY:Member’s Spotlight Exhibition: Amy Dolan: Along the Path
DESCRIPTION:Amy Dolan: Along the Path features new work by the Dayton-based artist. Drawing inspiration from the natural world\, Dolan’s paintings explore the balance between chaos and harmony\, capturing moments that feel both still and in motion. Influenced by her upbringing in upstate New York and the Finger Lakes region\, Dolan is deeply attuned to the ways light\, color\, and reflection shape our experience of landscape. Each work begins on a black canvas\, building outward through layered color\, texture\, and expressive mark-making. Her intuitive process embraces irregularity and change\, allowing each composition to evolve organically. Guided in part by her background in design\, Dolan balances this looseness with a strong sense of structure and visual harmony. The works in Along the Path reflect both a physical and emotional journey\, one shaped by observation\, memory\, and a sensitivity to the natural environment. Through vibrant color and fluid brushwork\, Dolan invites viewers to experience a sense of tranquility alongside a quiet energy\, offering space for reflection\, connection\, and renewal. \nExhibition Dates: April 1-24\, 2026 Opening Reception: April 1\, 6-8 pm Closing Reception: April 24\, 4-6 pm

SUMMARY:Student Success Centers – Reconnect
DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library’s new program\, Student Success Centers – Reconnect\, is offered every Tuesday and Thursday\, 3-6 pm\, through May 21\, in the Main Library’s Tech Lab A. \n  \nReconnect offers support to youth ages 16-21 working toward a GED or high school diploma. Extra help with reading\, writing\, and math is available\, along with life skills coaching\, opportunities to build friendships\, and connecting with mentors. \n  \nReconnect grew out of a revamp of DML’s Homework Help Centers\, now known as Student Success Centers\, located within seven Branches. “We expanded to an eighth Center at the Main Library that focuses on serving an overlooked demographic of young people called ‘opportunity youth\,’” explains Allison Knight\, DML’s Youth Services and Programming Director. “Opportunity youth are young enough to be served by public schools but disengaged from formal school or work.” \n  \nSinclair’s Fast Forward Re-Engagement Center has been an advocate for the gap in community services to opportunity youth. After speaking with their Project Director and researching the need\, DML staff used existing plans for the Student Success Centers expansion to address it. \n  \nRenaming the Student Success Centers allows DML to designate Student Success Centers – K12 for its mainstream students and Student Success Centers – Reconnect for opportunity youth. With the noted distinction between the Centers and Reconnect\, DML can train staff accordingly and specialize the services offered at each location. \n  \nRegistration is not required for Reconnect. Patrons may drop in any time during the posted hours. For more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
