SUMMARY:Oregon Historic District Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Oregon Historic District Society (OHDS) is hosting a Garden Tour on Saturday\, June 13th from 10am-2pm. Step into the charm and beauty of the Oregon Historic District residential neighborhood during the Summer 2026 Garden Tour. Enjoy a self-guided stroll through vibrant private gardens and explore the natural beauty that makes the Oregon District neighborhood so unique. Each garden celebrates their own garden style. Step through gates and side paths of this neighborhood garden tour\, and you’ll discover that beauty here isn’t measured by square footage – it’s tucked into every corner\, layered with care\, and shaped by imagination. Some yards are delightfully small\, yet they unfold like living mosaics. Narrow beds brim with perennials\, herbs spill over edging stones\, and climbing vines make full use of fences and trellises. These intimate spaces feel curated and personal\, where every plant has a purpose and every inch tells a story. Other gardens remain hidden from the street\, revealed only to those who wander in. Behind modest facades lie lush retreats – quiet courtyards\, shaded nooks\, and surprising bursts of color. These are the gardens that feel like secrets\, offering a sense of discovery as you move from one to the next. This tour is a celebration of creativity and everyday beauty\, showing how even the smallest or most hidden spaces can become vibrant\, welcoming sanctuaries. Sign up through Eventbrite at this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/oregon-historic-district-garden-tour-tickets-1989431528255?aff=oddtdtcreator Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance or the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Blue and Beyond: a Cyanotype Workshop with Suzi Hyden
DESCRIPTION:Curious about cyanotype? Join us for an introduction to this historic photographic process\, where light and chemistry come together to create striking\, image-based prints. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, participants will explore both foundational and expanded cyanotype techniques. We’ll be working with high-quality Hahnemühle 300gsm watercolor paper and pre-treated fabric sheets\, with a focus on elevating the process through hand-coating and experimental toning. Using materials like tea\, coffee\, and red wine\, we’ll shift traditional blue tones into a range of sepia\, slate\, and deep eggplant hues. \nWhether you’re new to cyanotype or looking to push the process further\, this session offers a supportive environment to experiment and explore. \nLogistics & Flow: \nThis workshop will follow a 3-hour staggered format to allow for movement between processes. Indoors\, we’ll use a dimmed area for hand-coating paper and set up a toning station during the final hour. Outdoors\, we’ll take advantage of natural sunlight for exposures\, along with a rinse station and temporary drying line for finished prints. \nDate: Saturday\, June 13\, 12-3PM \nIn the event of rain on June 13\, the workshop will be held on the backup date of June 14 from 12–3 PM. \nREGISTRATION IS OPEN UNTIL JUNE 6. Please register in advance to secure your spot. \nLocation: \nThe Dayton Society of Artists \n48 High Street  \nDayton\, Ohio. 45403 \nCost: \nNon-Members – $75 \nMembers – $55 \nPre-registration Required \nAbout your Instructor: \nSuzi Hyden is a cyanotype artist working in rural Champaign County\, Ohio\, whose work celebrates the environment by combining elements from nature and repurposed materials. She uses local botanicals to create her cyanotypes\, commonly known as sun printing or blueprinting. She incorporates recycled vintage fabrics\, reused papers\, and found objects as the substrates and framing for her cyanotypes. She exhibits throughout Ohio and offers workshops to children and adults.

In turn\, they’ve built a ravenous and loyal following across the country\, selling out clubs and theaters throughout the US each year. ‘Tailing the Ghost’ was recorded entirely on the road\, with the majority of the songs being cut almost entirely live.  It is Mo Lowda’s most cohesive\, yet explorative album to date.  The band tours year around\, often playing over 90 shows a year.

SUMMARY:Grafton Hill Home\, Garden & Historic Auto Show
DESCRIPTION:Step beyond the ropes and experience one of Dayton’s most storied neighborhoods in a way few people ever do. On Saturday\, June 20\, the Grafton Hill Home\, Garden & Historic Auto Show invites guests to spend the day exploring grand historic homes\, nationally recognized gardens\, architectural landmarks\, and vintage automobiles in one of Dayton’s most beautiful and fascinating neighborhoods. This is far more than a traditional home tour. Wander through eight private historic homes and gardens\, including a garden recognized by the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Gardens. Step inside the historic Dayton Masonic Center and tour the newly restored Commodore Apartments\, a 1924 landmark that sat vacant for years before undergoing a remarkable $7.4 million transformation. Along the way\, discover beautifully preserved architecture\, hidden gardens\, original craftsmanship\, and the stories of the families\, inventors\, and visionaries who helped shape Dayton’s history. Car enthusiasts will enjoy historic automobiles displayed throughout the neighborhood\, ranging from early twentieth-century vehicles to classic muscle cars of the 1960s. The automotive theme is especially fitting in Grafton Hill\, where Col. Edward A. Deeds once lived and worked alongside Charles F. Kettering to develop the electric starter\, an invention that forever changed the automobile industry. The experience extends beyond the homes themselves. Stroll tree-lined streets\, meet homeowners and neighbors\, enjoy food trucks\, and explore the cultural landmarks that make Grafton Hill unique\, including the Dayton Art Institute\, Dayton Masonic Center\, and Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. Whether you’re passionate about architecture\, gardens\, historic preservation\, design\, automobiles\, Dayton history\, or simply enjoy discovering places you don’t normally get to see\, the Grafton Hill Home\, Garden & Historic Auto Show offers a rare opportunity to experience all of these in a single afternoon. Last admission at 2 p.m. Rain or Shine. Lots of walking involved.  https://graftonhilltourtickets.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:Los Rakas with Opener Isai Morales
DESCRIPTION:Los Rakas\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJune 20 @ 7:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Admission\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeries:\n\n\n\n\nProjects Unlimited & Wyse Family Foundation Gem Series \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre:\n\n\n\n\nLatino Hip Hop/Reggaeton \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLos Rakas is comprised of cousins Raka Rich and Raka Dun\, pioneering Panamanians by way of the Bay Area on the frontier of a new Latin urban sound. Known for their fresh mix of hip-hop\, plena\, reggae\, and dancehall music; the Grammy-nominated duo represents the cutting edge of Pan-American flows.\nTaking their name from the Panamanian word “Rakataka\,” a negative slur used to describe someone from the ghetto\, Los Rakas have set out to inspire fellow “Rakas” by empowering them to become successful despite their circumstances. \nIn 2012\, Los Rakas released their EP\, Raka Love\, touring nationally and internationally. Their debut album on Universal Music Latino\, El Negrito Dun Dun y Ricardo\, released in 2014. In 2016\, Los Rakas released their self-titled\, second album earning them a Grammy nomination for “Best Latin Rock\, Urban or Alternative Album”. Their 2019 album Manes De Negocio is best described by Remezcla as a “socially conscious trap soiree”. Los Rakas has performed with artists like Dave Chappelle\, Snoop Dogg\, Berner\, JBalvin\, Kehlani\, Zion & LennoxCypress Hill\, E40\, Ice Cube\, Kali Uchis\, Shaggy\, and Nina Sky to name a few. They have also collaborated with artists such as Blondie\, Amara La Negra\, Carmack\, Kafu Banton\, Kat Dahlia\, D-Smoke\, Goapele\, P-Lo and in 2022 their hit single Uno2Tres will be featured in the FIFA 22 soundtrack. \nAs KQED states\, Los Rakas are “positioning themselves as the heirs of pioneering Black Panamanian reggaetoneros such as El General and Renato.” Los Rakas are turning the current Latin hip-hop world on its head. \nProjects Unlimited & Wyse Family Foundation Gem Series Opener: ISAI MORALES

SUMMARY:The Light In Between
DESCRIPTION:The Light In Between emerges in a world of continual rupture. Not as escape\, and not as resolve\, but as the brief and necessary moments that allow us to remain. This season\, Dayton Dance Initiative invites artists and audiences into works shaped by partial illumination — moments that flicker\, hold\, and pass between us. Through shared attention\, embodied inquiry\, and collaborative process\, these new choreographic works ask how we stay in relation — how we notice\, together\, the spaces between impact and breath. This season also opens a new threshold for Dayton Dance Initiative: our first-ever choreographic commission\, extending beyond Dayton to support the work of David Morse. Rooted in trust\, time\, and exchange\, this commission reflects our belief that connection — like light — travels\, arrives\, and reshapes the space it enters. What we practice here does not end in this space; it returns with us — not as answers\, but as the strength to continue.
