Exhibit: Curtis Barnes, Sr., Dayton Icon
2025-08-27 | The Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park N, Dayton, OH, 45405, United States
Curtis Barnes, Sr., Dayton Icon
July 12–September 14, 2025
A painter and educator, Curtis Barnes, Sr. was a longtime fixture of Dayton’s art scene. His bold, colorful, experimental paintings are a distinctive blend of naturalism and abstraction. They frequently include self-portraits and portraiture depicting the people in his life. His influence is still felt today among his students and in the African American Visual Arts Guild, which he co-founded with artist “Bing” Davis in 1992. He was recognized for his artistic contribution and presented with the “Paul Laurence Dunbar Humanitarian Award” in 1994 and the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the Ohio Arts Council in 2008.
This exhibition comes on the 90th anniversary of his birth and is a celebration of Barnes’ life and art. A DAI exclusive, this collection of works was drawn from his family and friends.

The Downtown Dayton Partnership and Le Monde Studios are excited to present Harmonies, a multi-location public art installation on view for the entire month of August 2025.

Four musical instruments, powered by green technology, come alive with local music and lights at the turn of a hand crank. See a banjo on Courthouse Square, a guitar at Levitt Pavilion, a harp at the Convention Center, and a treble clef in the Oregon District at the Seed of Life Plaza. This is more than a photo-op; it’s a moment of magic in the middle of an ordinary day. Presenting sponsor: PNC. Supporting sponsors: Bob Ross Auto Group and Grunder Landscaping Co.

2025 Fine Art Faculty Exhibition Featuring Bridgette Bogle
2025-08-27 08:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Galleries at Sinclair College, 444 W. Third St., Bldg. 13, Dayton, OH, 45402
Event Title: 2025 Fine Art Faculty Exhibition Featuring Bridgette Bogle Event Description: Sinclair Community College’s annual Fine Art Faculty Exhibition will usher in the beginning of the 2025-2026 academic year. Each fall, the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery, the Works on Paper Gallery, as well as other spaces around Building 13 display work from the faculty and adjunct faculty of Sinclair’s Art Department. The Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery traditionally features one faculty member, and this year will exhibit works by Professor Bridgette Bogle. Bogle’s exhibition is a reflection on her weekly walks through Woodland Cemetery. Colored pencil drawings along with installation work consisting of discarded polyester petals from the cemetery examine the contrast of the natural landscape and human-made artifacts of grief. This body of work explores the complexity of loss, the impulse to both mimic and disrupt nature, impermanence, and the passage of time. There will be a virtual artist talk with Professor Bogle over Zoom on September 12, 2025 at 12pm. A reception will be held September 4 from 4:30pm-6pm in Building 13’s 4th Floor Atrium. Visit sinclair.edu/artgalleries for further details. The Fine Art Faculty Exhibition will be on display from August 18 through September 19, 2025. Gallery spaces are located on the third and fourth floor of building 13 (located at W. Fifth and S. Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9–12 Saturdays.
