SUMMARY:Dayton Black Women’s Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2023 by Angelina Mitchell\, a film student at Wright State University\, the Dayton Black Women’s Film Festival (DBWFF) seeks to serve as a platform to feature films written\, directed\, and produced by Black women that honor\, discover and share the Black\, African American\, and African Diaspora experience. We aim to strengthen the community and create opportunities for collaboration among black women filmmakers in Dayton and nearby regions. \nThe ultimate goal is to ensure that there is always a place for Black women filmmakers to be celebrated\, acknowledged\, and welcomed in the film industry. The festival not only celebrates artistic achievement but also fosters community and dialogue around issues of race\, gender\, and representation in cinema. \nMore info: https://www.daytonbwff.org/

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Laura Sanders: Force of Nature
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Dayton is proud to present a mid-career survey of work by Laura Sanders\, an artist whose lush\, photorealistic oil paintings of women and girls immersed in natural environments merge the genres of landscape and figurative work. Her subject matter considers the complex realities of women venturing beyond perceived safe places\, as well as environmental concerns and the effects of consumerism. Another theme evident in this exhibition is the passage of time\, as depicted in the portraits of her model\, her daughter Elena\, from a young child to an adult woman. \nLaura Sanders is a Columbus-based artist who also maintains a studio in New York. She is a graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design. Her work has been exhibited at Marianne Boesky Gallery\, New York\, NY and Nino Meier Gallery\, Los Angeles\, CA and is in the permanent collection of the Columbus Museum of Art and the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection\, West Palm Beach\, FL\, as well as many other public and private collections. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, The Co will produce a catalogue with an essay by Heather Jones. Both the catalogue and a selection of prints by the artist will be available for purchase in The CoSHOP Pop-up Print Shop.

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.
