The collaborative environment in our studio allows students to forge friendships, build self-confidence, and experience new perspectives while making art. Students can opt to attend one day per week, two days, or all sessions. Students are welcome to join at any point in the year.

Hadestown
2024-03-12 19:30, 2024-03-13 19:30, 2024-03-14 19:30, 2024-03-15 20:00 | The Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center, 1 West Second Street, Dayton, OH, 45402
COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.
Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always.
HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

Exhibit: The Artistic Life of Aka Pereyma
2024-03-13, 2024-03-14, 2024-03-15, 2024-03-16 | The Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park N, Dayton, OH, 45405, United States
Aka Pereyma’s art, unconventional and visionary, demonstrates a highly personal means of expression. Weaving folk-art traditions with modern artistic styles, Pereyma produced art that expressed her strong ties to her Ukrainian heritage. “I think it is my duty to introduce to the world my Ukrainian culture,” she stated. This exhibition brings together works from throughout her career, from the early 1960s into the 21st century. Not tied to a single medium, Pereyma made paintings, drawings, wood and metal sculptures, needlework, woodblock prints, ceramics and exquisitely intricate designs on pysanky eggs. Recurring themes include Ukrainian folk songs, depictions of birds to represent her love of nature, Adam and Eve (along with leaves and eggs) to symbolize men and women. The works tell stories, often through surreal, densely filled ornamentation. “More is more,” was a favorite saying. A celebration of a local artistic legend, this exhibition will highlight Pereyma’s love of color and bold design.

Health Wisdom From Ancient China Part II
2024-03-14 08:00 - 17:00 | Sinclair Conference Center, 301 W. Fourth St., Dayton, OH, 45402, USA
Back by popular demand, Sinclair’s Diversity Office welcomes, Guest Speaker: PING YANG, Ph.D.
“The difference between being in command and losing command over emotions is the root of life and death, and the starting point believing and dying”. Mastery of one emotion is an absolute prerequisite for maintaining health and longevity. This seminar will introduce a unique way of emotional healing that echoes the principle first introduced in ancient sources from more than 2000 years ago. The origins of this healing modality are still practiced in China today, and it was introduced to the West in 2004.
Dr. Yang grew up in the Northeastern part of China, and worked as a design engineer in China after graduating from college. Her dream of an advanced degree brought her to Kansas State University for a Master of Science and then to the University of Illinois, where she earned her Ph.D. in Agricultural and Biological Engineering. She also holds an MBA from the University of Dayton. Dr. Yang currently works as a principal research
scientist at Cargill.
Dr. Yang is passionate about maintaining her health in a sustainable way. She has been studying ancient health wisdom and is eager to share her knowledge. Her personal well-being program includes the ancient body-mind connection and energy exercises. She has been sharing her knowledge and experience at UD’s Lifelong Learning Institute since 2016. She also hosts free online classes since 2020 after COVID hit. Her dream is to combine ancient health wisdom with modern-day technologies to benefit more people.

A Season for Nonviolence is a national 64-day educational, media, and grassroots campaign dedicated to demonstrating that non-violence is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities. The purpose of this event is to promote and spread the principles of nonviolence to create a more inclusive, understanding, and compassionate society, ultimately helping to bridge the social divide in communities across America.
In January 2024 , representatives from the King, Gandhi, Scott and Mandela families are set to visit the International Peace Museum for a special series of events. This juncture holds the potential for a transformative moment—one that embodies strength, introspection, and a call to action in the pursuit of love, nonviolence, and peace. The coming together of these influential families to inaugurate the 2024 Season of Nonviolence carries profound symbolism. It sends a resounding message to our nation that peace is indispensable for the well-being of all, and its significance can endure for generations to come.

Dayton Metro Library, in partnership with Welcome Dayton, will host a Miami Valley Community ID Drive (MVCID) on Saturday, March 16, from 9:30 am – 1 pm at the Main Library.

The ID Drive is available to any Miami Valley resident, including the unhoused, elderly, immigrants and/or refugees, and those returning from incarceration. Obtaining this ID provides community members with reliable identification who may otherwise not have access to or have difficulty accessing government-issued forms of ID.

Community members must be 16 years of age or older to receive an ID. The MVCID is not a driver’s license or a state-government issued ID. It cannot be used to vote, it will not stop prosecution if engaged in illegal activity, and it does not have an impact on present or future immigration status. However, it can be used with providers who have agreed to partner with the program.

To receive an MVCID card, please bring the following items to the Main Library:

A photo ID (an expired driver’s license, a national ID card, a Matricula Consular or another embassy ID, or a passport)
Proof of residency (a utility bill, a rental agreement, a medical record, or a bank statement)
$5.00

Registration to attend this event is required and may be completed via Welcome Dayton’s website at https://www.daytonohio.gov/1104/Miami-Valley-Community-ID-Card.

Other dates for this event, to be held at the Main Library, include the following Saturdays: May 11, September 14, and November 9, and on Thursday, July 11. The Main Library is located at 215 E. Third Street, Dayton, 45402, with plenty of ample metered parking as well as an adjacent parking garage.
