SUMMARY:Exhibits: Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family
DESCRIPTION:The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) will close its 2024 Special Exhibition season with an exciting presentation of two combined traveling exhibitions\, Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family\, on view now through January 19\, 2025. Just in time for the holidays\, enjoy these nostalgic exhibitions highlighting two beloved classics that continue to influence the art of animation. View original drawings of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Chuck Jones\, who brought Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday tale to life in the 1966 animated special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!\, then laugh alongside Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart as you experience the original handmade animation cels of the acclaimed series. \n  \n“The art displayed in our newest exhibitions explores the significant influence animation has had in pop culture and the worlds of art\, entertainment and business\,” said DAI Head Curator & Curatorial Affairs Director Jerry N. Smith. “Animation art is beloved worldwide\, and for many of us\, this medium is our introduction to art. This work showcases how in each animated classic\, thousands of individual artworks come together to tell a story and create a larger singular work.” \n  \nIn 1966\, the animation of Chuck Jones brought to life Dr. Seuss’ treasured 1957 children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated story is a true television classic\, with generations tuning in annually to watch the story of redemption with the despicable Grinch\, the sweet Cindy Lou Who and the innocent dog Max. The exhibition Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic features original cel art used in the cartoon’s production\, along with concept drawings by Jones (famous for Looney Tunes) and those by Dr. Seuss. \n  \n(B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family showcases the often-irreverent antics of Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart—alongside many other unforgettable figures from the longest-running animated series on American television. Since its debut in 1989\, there have been more than 770 episodes. Initially crafted through traditional ink-and-paint techniques on transparent acetate cels\, the first 13 seasons (1989–2002) were produced by hand before transitioning to cost-effective digital animation. These hand-drawn cels are featured in the exhibition. In the early seasons elements\, now vital to the series\, were created\, including the famous sofa and living room set used to open each episode\, which is replicated at the DAI\, allowing guests the chance to truly enter the fictional world of Springfield. \n  \nFun and colorful\, these two exhibitions showcase the art of illustration. A family-friendly and nostalgic outing\, guests will enjoy more than 400 works of original art\, as well as interactive sensory stations\, educational resources and photo opportunities. \n  \n“In addition to learning about the art of animation and illustration\, those attending our newest special exhibitions can expect a joyful\, playful\, and nostalgic experience\,” said DAI Director & President Michael R. Roediger. “This artwork was created to bring a smile to your face and brighten your day. We’re excited to offer each guest the chance to slip away from any of life’s stresses and spend time reconnecting with characters they know and love. These two exhibitions are fun\, colorful and truly memorable.” \n  \nSeveral related programs will be offered in conjunction with the Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family. These include: \n  \n\nCommunity Tour: November 2\, 1–2 p.m.; November 23\, 1­–2 p.m.; December 7\, 1–2 p.m.; December 19\, 6–7 p.m.; January 18\, 1–2 p.m.\nCost: Members: Free\, Non-members: Included with the Price of Admission\n\n\nFamily Studio Special: December 7\, 12:30–3:30 p.m.\nCost: Members: $20\, Non-members: $25\, Member Family 4-pack: $70\, Non-member Family 4-pack: $90\nAdult Studio Special: November 16\, 12:30–3:30 p.m.\nCost: Members: $35\, Non-members: $45\nAsk Me Anything: November 7\, 6–7 p.m.\, December 12\, 6–7 p.m. and January 9\, 6–7 p.m.\nCost: FREE\n\n  \nThese exhibitions are from the collection of Bill Heeter and Kristi Correa.

SUMMARY:Exhibits: Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family
DESCRIPTION:The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) will close its 2024 Special Exhibition season with an exciting presentation of two combined traveling exhibitions\, Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family\, on view now through January 19\, 2025. Just in time for the holidays\, enjoy these nostalgic exhibitions highlighting two beloved classics that continue to influence the art of animation. View original drawings of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Chuck Jones\, who brought Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday tale to life in the 1966 animated special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!\, then laugh alongside Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart as you experience the original handmade animation cels of the acclaimed series. \n  \n“The art displayed in our newest exhibitions explores the significant influence animation has had in pop culture and the worlds of art\, entertainment and business\,” said DAI Head Curator & Curatorial Affairs Director Jerry N. Smith. “Animation art is beloved worldwide\, and for many of us\, this medium is our introduction to art. This work showcases how in each animated classic\, thousands of individual artworks come together to tell a story and create a larger singular work.” \n  \nIn 1966\, the animation of Chuck Jones brought to life Dr. Seuss’ treasured 1957 children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated story is a true television classic\, with generations tuning in annually to watch the story of redemption with the despicable Grinch\, the sweet Cindy Lou Who and the innocent dog Max. The exhibition Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic features original cel art used in the cartoon’s production\, along with concept drawings by Jones (famous for Looney Tunes) and those by Dr. Seuss. \n  \n(B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family showcases the often-irreverent antics of Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart—alongside many other unforgettable figures from the longest-running animated series on American television. Since its debut in 1989\, there have been more than 770 episodes. Initially crafted through traditional ink-and-paint techniques on transparent acetate cels\, the first 13 seasons (1989–2002) were produced by hand before transitioning to cost-effective digital animation. These hand-drawn cels are featured in the exhibition. In the early seasons elements\, now vital to the series\, were created\, including the famous sofa and living room set used to open each episode\, which is replicated at the DAI\, allowing guests the chance to truly enter the fictional world of Springfield. \n  \nFun and colorful\, these two exhibitions showcase the art of illustration. A family-friendly and nostalgic outing\, guests will enjoy more than 400 works of original art\, as well as interactive sensory stations\, educational resources and photo opportunities. \n  \n“In addition to learning about the art of animation and illustration\, those attending our newest special exhibitions can expect a joyful\, playful\, and nostalgic experience\,” said DAI Director & President Michael R. Roediger. “This artwork was created to bring a smile to your face and brighten your day. We’re excited to offer each guest the chance to slip away from any of life’s stresses and spend time reconnecting with characters they know and love. These two exhibitions are fun\, colorful and truly memorable.” \n  \nSeveral related programs will be offered in conjunction with the Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART!

SUMMARY:Exhibits: Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family
DESCRIPTION:The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) will close its 2024 Special Exhibition season with an exciting presentation of two combined traveling exhibitions\, Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family\, on view now through January 19\, 2025. Just in time for the holidays\, enjoy these nostalgic exhibitions highlighting two beloved classics that continue to influence the art of animation. View original drawings of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Chuck Jones\, who brought Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday tale to life in the 1966 animated special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!\, then laugh alongside Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart as you experience the original handmade animation cels of the acclaimed series. \n  \n“The art displayed in our newest exhibitions explores the significant influence animation has had in pop culture and the worlds of art\, entertainment and business\,” said DAI Head Curator & Curatorial Affairs Director Jerry N. Smith. “Animation art is beloved worldwide\, and for many of us\, this medium is our introduction to art. This work showcases how in each animated classic\, thousands of individual artworks come together to tell a story and create a larger singular work.” \n  \nIn 1966\, the animation of Chuck Jones brought to life Dr. Seuss’ treasured 1957 children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated story is a true television classic\, with generations tuning in annually to watch the story of redemption with the despicable Grinch\, the sweet Cindy Lou Who and the innocent dog Max. The exhibition Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic features original cel art used in the cartoon’s production\, along with concept drawings by Jones (famous for Looney Tunes) and those by Dr. Seuss. \n  \n(B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family showcases the often-irreverent antics of Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart—alongside many other unforgettable figures from the longest-running animated series on American television. Since its debut in 1989\, there have been more than 770 episodes. Initially crafted through traditional ink-and-paint techniques on transparent acetate cels\, the first 13 seasons (1989–2002) were produced by hand before transitioning to cost-effective digital animation. These hand-drawn cels are featured in the exhibition. In the early seasons elements\, now vital to the series\, were created\, including the famous sofa and living room set used to open each episode\, which is replicated at the DAI\, allowing guests the chance to truly enter the fictional world of Springfield. \n  \nFun and colorful\, these two exhibitions showcase the art of illustration. A family-friendly and nostalgic outing\, guests will enjoy more than 400 works of original art\, as well as interactive sensory stations\, educational resources and photo opportunities. \n  \n“In addition to learning about the art of animation and illustration\, those attending our newest special exhibitions can expect a joyful\, playful\, and nostalgic experience\,” said DAI Director & President Michael R. Roediger. “This artwork was created to bring a smile to your face and brighten your day. We’re excited to offer each guest the chance to slip away from any of life’s stresses and spend time reconnecting with characters they know and love.

SUMMARY:Exhibits: Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family
DESCRIPTION:The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) will close its 2024 Special Exhibition season with an exciting presentation of two combined traveling exhibitions\, Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family\, on view now through January 19\, 2025. Just in time for the holidays\, enjoy these nostalgic exhibitions highlighting two beloved classics that continue to influence the art of animation. View original drawings of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Chuck Jones\, who brought Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday tale to life in the 1966 animated special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!\, then laugh alongside Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart as you experience the original handmade animation cels of the acclaimed series. \n  \n“The art displayed in our newest exhibitions explores the significant influence animation has had in pop culture and the worlds of art\, entertainment and business\,” said DAI Head Curator & Curatorial Affairs Director Jerry N. Smith. “Animation art is beloved worldwide\, and for many of us\, this medium is our introduction to art. This work showcases how in each animated classic\, thousands of individual artworks come together to tell a story and create a larger singular work.” \n  \nIn 1966\, the animation of Chuck Jones brought to life Dr. Seuss’ treasured 1957 children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated story is a true television classic\, with generations tuning in annually to watch the story of redemption with the despicable Grinch\, the sweet Cindy Lou Who and the innocent dog Max. The exhibition Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic features original cel art used in the cartoon’s production\, along with concept drawings by Jones (famous for Looney Tunes) and those by Dr. Seuss. \n  \n(B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family showcases the often-irreverent antics of Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart—alongside many other unforgettable figures from the longest-running animated series on American television. Since its debut in 1989\, there have been more than 770 episodes. Initially crafted through traditional ink-and-paint techniques on transparent acetate cels\, the first 13 seasons (1989–2002) were produced by hand before transitioning to cost-effective digital animation. These hand-drawn cels are featured in the exhibition. In the early seasons elements\, now vital to the series\, were created\, including the famous sofa and living room set used to open each episode\, which is replicated at the DAI\, allowing guests the chance to truly enter the fictional world of Springfield. \n  \nFun and colorful\, these two exhibitions showcase the art of illustration. A family-friendly and nostalgic outing\, guests will enjoy more than 400 works of original art\, as well as interactive sensory stations\, educational resources and photo opportunities. \n  \n“In addition to learning about the art of animation and illustration\, those attending our newest special exhibitions can expect a joyful\, playful\, and nostalgic experience\,” said DAI Director & President Michael R. Roediger. “This artwork was created to bring a smile to your face and brighten your day. We’re excited to offer each guest the chance to slip away from any of life’s stresses and spend time reconnecting with characters they know and love. These two exhibitions are fun\, colorful and truly memorable.” \n  \nSeveral related programs will be offered in conjunction with the Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART!

This work showcases how in each animated classic\, thousands of individual artworks come together to tell a story and create a larger singular work.” \n  \nIn 1966\, the animation of Chuck Jones brought to life Dr. Seuss’ treasured 1957 children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated story is a true television classic\, with generations tuning in annually to watch the story of redemption with the despicable Grinch\, the sweet Cindy Lou Who and the innocent dog Max. The exhibition Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic features original cel art used in the cartoon’s production\, along with concept drawings by Jones (famous for Looney Tunes) and those by Dr. Seuss. \n  \n(B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family showcases the often-irreverent antics of Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart—alongside many other unforgettable figures from the longest-running animated series on American television. Since its debut in 1989\, there have been more than 770 episodes. Initially crafted through traditional ink-and-paint techniques on transparent acetate cels\, the first 13 seasons (1989–2002) were produced by hand before transitioning to cost-effective digital animation. These hand-drawn cels are featured in the exhibition. In the early seasons elements\, now vital to the series\, were created\, including the famous sofa and living room set used to open each episode\, which is replicated at the DAI\, allowing guests the chance to truly enter the fictional world of Springfield. \n  \nFun and colorful\, these two exhibitions showcase the art of illustration. A family-friendly and nostalgic outing\, guests will enjoy more than 400 works of original art\, as well as interactive sensory stations\, educational resources and photo opportunities. \n  \n“In addition to learning about the art of animation and illustration\, those attending our newest special exhibitions can expect a joyful\, playful\, and nostalgic experience\,” said DAI Director & President Michael R. Roediger. “This artwork was created to bring a smile to your face and brighten your day.

In the early seasons\, elements now vital to the series were created\, including the famous sofa and living room set used to open each episode\, which will be replicated at the DAI. These two exhibitions\, presented side-by-side\, will be fun\, colorful and truly memorable. Not to be missed! From the collection of Bill Heeter and Kristi Correa

SUMMARY:Exhibits: Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family
DESCRIPTION:The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) will close its 2024 Special Exhibition season with an exciting presentation of two combined traveling exhibitions\, Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic & (B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family\, on view now through January 19\, 2025. Just in time for the holidays\, enjoy these nostalgic exhibitions highlighting two beloved classics that continue to influence the art of animation. View original drawings of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Chuck Jones\, who brought Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday tale to life in the 1966 animated special How the Grinch Stole Christmas!\, then laugh alongside Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart as you experience the original handmade animation cels of the acclaimed series. \n  \n“The art displayed in our newest exhibitions explores the significant influence animation has had in pop culture and the worlds of art\, entertainment and business\,” said DAI Head Curator & Curatorial Affairs Director Jerry N. Smith. “Animation art is beloved worldwide\, and for many of us\, this medium is our introduction to art. This work showcases how in each animated classic\, thousands of individual artworks come together to tell a story and create a larger singular work.” \n  \nIn 1966\, the animation of Chuck Jones brought to life Dr. Seuss’ treasured 1957 children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The animated story is a true television classic\, with generations tuning in annually to watch the story of redemption with the despicable Grinch\, the sweet Cindy Lou Who and the innocent dog Max. The exhibition Merry Grinchmas: Art of Dr. Seuss’ Holiday Classic features original cel art used in the cartoon’s production\, along with concept drawings by Jones (famous for Looney Tunes) and those by Dr. Seuss. \n  \n(B)ART! America’s Funniest Animated Family showcases the often-irreverent antics of Homer\, Marge\, Lisa\, Maggie and Bart—alongside many other unforgettable figures from the longest-running animated series on American television. Since its debut in 1989\, there have been more than 770 episodes.
