SUMMARY:Threads of History: Quilts by Carolyn Mazloomi
DESCRIPTION:June 12-September 12\, 2026 \nThreads of History: Quilts by Carolyn Mazloomi is a landmark solo exhibition by award-winning artist\, historian\, and curator Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi. Now an octogenarian\, Mazloomi remains one of the most visionary leaders in contemporary quilting\, widely recognized for her lifelong efforts to elevate African American quilt traditions. Her striking black-and-white quilts memorialize the lives and legacies of African American freedom fighters\, capturing resilience\, resistance\, and remembrance through bold imagery and layered narrative. Originally trained as an aerospace engineer\, Mazloomi shifted her focus in the 1980s to advocate for African American quilt artists whose contributions had long been marginalized. Through her scholarship\, mentorship\, and the founding of the Women of Color Quilters Network\, she has transformed the cultural landscape\, bringing international recognition to quilting as both fine art and historical record. Her extraordinary impact has been recognized with numerous honors\, including the Bess Lomax Hawes NEA National Heritage Fellowship\, a United States Artists Fellowship\, and an American Craft Council Honorary Fellowship. Her work is held in major collections\, including the Smithsonian Institution and the American Folk Art Museum. Opening Reception: June 12\, 2026\, 6-8 p.m.

SUMMARY:Elisha Frontz\, Roxanne Grooms\, and Yuji Hiratsuka Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present “Spontaneous Connection” by Elisha Frontz & Roxanne Grooms in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery along with “Tell Tale Personal Narrative” by Yuji Hiratsuka in the Works on Paper Gallery. Inspired by the inherent order and balance found in the universe\, Frontz draws on the complexity and beauty of systems and patterns found in both the natural world and mathematics. Her mixed media work juxtaposes strong geometric shapes against delicate natural forms. Grooms’s non-representational mixed media works contrast the strong dynamic geometry of a circle against its softness. The circle becomes a character amongst rich earthly hues anchored by nurturing stitches or twisted threads\, which invite the viewer to use their imagination to play along. Hiratsuka’s intaglio prints explore the co-existence of eastern and western influences in Japanese culture. Taking inspiration from Ukiyo-e prints his work contains decorative\, bright colors and highly-stylized\, exaggerated and distorted figures\, all executed through a modern lens. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom Friday\, June 12\, 2026\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from May 16 – June 25\, 2026. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays. Free and accessible parking is located in Parking Lot K.

SUMMARY:Beetlejuice: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Dayton. \nIt’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film\, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz\, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book and a score that’s out of this Netherworld\, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under\, to be exact)\, it’s a remarkably touching show about family\, love\, and making the most of every Day-O!

SUMMARY:Those English Girls
DESCRIPTION:The Human Race Theatre Company’s Playwright’s Night featuring THOSE ENGLISH GIRLS by Michael London and directed by Emily N. Wells. \nOn a night in 1941\, during the Blitz\, in a Bermondsey area bomb-shelter in London\, two sisters share their story of saving the lives of 29 refugees that were trying to escape Hitler’s Germany before the outbreak of World War II. Escaping their average work-a-day lives\, opera became their passion. But when their friends needed help\, the opera became their cover to help escape evil. \nIda and Louise Cook were average London spinsters making low wages and living at home with family when an opportunity came to them in 1938. An opportunity to save lives. They summoned their courage and their cleverness and found themselves crossing borders into Nazi dominated Europe. On each trip\, under the cover of opera\, they smuggled the money and valuables of their friends to London\, and eventually the friends themselves\, saving each of them from a certain end in a death camp. \nTHOSE ENGLISH GIRLS is the third play in A Resilience Trilogy by Michael London.

SUMMARY:Elisha Frontz\, Roxanne Grooms\, and Yuji Hiratsuka Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present “Spontaneous Connection” by Elisha Frontz & Roxanne Grooms in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery along with “Tell Tale Personal Narrative” by Yuji Hiratsuka in the Works on Paper Gallery. Inspired by the inherent order and balance found in the universe\, Frontz draws on the complexity and beauty of systems and patterns found in both the natural world and mathematics. Her mixed media work juxtaposes strong geometric shapes against delicate natural forms. Grooms’s non-representational mixed media works contrast the strong dynamic geometry of a circle against its softness. The circle becomes a character amongst rich earthly hues anchored by nurturing stitches or twisted threads\, which invite the viewer to use their imagination to play along. Hiratsuka’s intaglio prints explore the co-existence of eastern and western influences in Japanese culture. Taking inspiration from Ukiyo-e prints his work contains decorative\, bright colors and highly-stylized\, exaggerated and distorted figures\, all executed through a modern lens. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom Friday\, June 12\, 2026\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from May 16 – June 25\, 2026. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays. Free and accessible parking is located in Parking Lot K.

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
