SUMMARY:The Quiet World of Edward Hopper
DESCRIPTION:June 15–September 8\, 2024 \n\nFew artists have been able to convey a distinct vision of the world as directly as Edward Hopper (American\, 1882–1967). With great clarity\, Hopper expressed a deeply personal response to modern life with his enigmatic depictions of urban and rural environments. The everyday\, even mundane slices of life and ordinary subjects regularly indicate a psychological state of mind\, most often suggesting a sense of isolation or loneliness. He rejected the influences of European modernism to work in a realistic\, representational style\, and create a uniquely American point of view that expresses his response to living in the twentieth century. \nThe Quiet World of Edward Hopper\, an exclusive exhibition to the DAI\, will feature the holdings from the DAI collection\, which include a drawing\, etchings\, watercolor figure studies from his early years as an illustrator visiting Europe\, along with the celebrated painting High Noon\, 1949. The exhibition will also have key loans from other museums and private collections.

SUMMARY:Riveting: Women Artists from the Sara M. and Michelle Vance Waddell Collection
DESCRIPTION:June 22–September 8\, 2024 \n\nRiveting presents extraordinary art by contemporary women artists drawn from the major\, private collection of Sara M. and Michelle Vance Waddell. This bold exhibition expresses the collector’s personal interest in finding emergent artistic voices and powerful artistic statements that speak to prominent social issues of the day\, including those relating to LGBTQ+ communities and reproductive rights. All major media are included: paintings\, sculptures\, works on paper\, photographs and textiles\, and themes range from humorous and irreverent to thought-provoking. \nInternationally recognized artists include Cindy Sherman\, Kiki Smith\, Ana Mendieta and many others\, featured alongside under-recognized and local artists. One of the highlights will be Carolee Shneemann’s Interior Scroll (1974/75)\, a groundbreaking achievement of feminist art that remains relevant and controversial to this day.

SUMMARY:The Quiet World of Edward Hopper
DESCRIPTION:June 15–September 8\, 2024 \n\nFew artists have been able to convey a distinct vision of the world as directly as Edward Hopper (American\, 1882–1967). With great clarity\, Hopper expressed a deeply personal response to modern life with his enigmatic depictions of urban and rural environments. The everyday\, even mundane slices of life and ordinary subjects regularly indicate a psychological state of mind\, most often suggesting a sense of isolation or loneliness. He rejected the influences of European modernism to work in a realistic\, representational style\, and create a uniquely American point of view that expresses his response to living in the twentieth century. \nThe Quiet World of Edward Hopper\, an exclusive exhibition to the DAI\, will feature the holdings from the DAI collection\, which include a drawing\, etchings\, watercolor figure studies from his early years as an illustrator visiting Europe\, along with the celebrated painting High Noon\, 1949. The exhibition will also have key loans from other museums and private collections.

SUMMARY:Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame
DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library is pleased to host Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame\, a profound exhibit produced by the University of Dayton Human Rights Center that will be on display through Friday\, August 30\, in the Opportunity Space @ St. Clair at the Main Library. \n  \nIn 2014\, after Michael Brown was shot and killed by police\, a 100-day uprising followed in Ferguson\, Missouri. Ferguson Voices features interviews and photographs of twelve individuals who responded to Brown’s death by showing contributions to their community during the protest – acting\, teaching\, repairing\, and advancing the cause of justice. \n  \nInitially created in 2016\, after nine University of Dayton students traveled to Missouri to interview people who were affected by the unrest of 2014\, Ferguson Voices seeks to humanize the individuals who witnessed and shaped the uprising and to show visitors that when communities are faced with difficult moments\, we all have a role to play. \n  \nA companion program hosted by the University of Dayton Human Rights Center will be held in the Opportunity Space @ St. Clair at 6 pm\, on Tuesday\, August 27. It will involve a panel discussion and provide a space for community members to come together and process the recent killing of 16-year-old Brian Moody by Dayton City Police. \n  \nThis discussion will utilize the exhibit to focus attention on police violence and community response and will re-ignite questions about the use of lethal force\, public trust and accountability\, and over-policing and radical discrimination. The announcement of panel guests in attendance will be forthcoming. \n  \nThis is the second time DML has had the honor of hosting Ferguson Voices; it first appeared at the Northwest Branch in 2017. \n  \nFor more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665. \n

SUMMARY:Alanna Royale
DESCRIPTION:Laugh out loud funny and fearlessly outspoken\, one doesn’t have to wonder if Alanna Royale is in the room. Since storming the Nashville scene in 2013\, Royale has repeatedly made her presence known from calling out politicians she can’t stand to calling monopoly on her classically minded\, R&B sound. In her first year alone\, the artist landed headlining slots at Nashville Pride Fest and won “Road to Bonnaroo” with only an EP under her belt. After fine tuning her swagger fronting punk bands\, it appeared Royale had found her perfect niche marrying soul and pop. Or so she thought.
