“In 2013, we added additional weekday evening hours to gauge community response. Based on attendance patterns tracked over the past two years and recent visitor surveys, maintaining evening hours on one weeknight best meets the needs of both the community and the museum,” says Director and CEO Michael R. Roediger. “We are excited about our upcoming ‘Year of American Art,’ as well as many other programs, and look forward to welcoming the community to The Dayton Art Institute.”
The museum kicks off its “Year of American Art” with American Impressionism: The Lure of the Artists’ Colony, on view March 7 – May 31, followed by Call to Duty: World War Posters and Tears of Stone: Photographs by Jane Alden Stevens, July 4 – October 4, and concluding with American Sampler: Grandma Moses and the Handicraft Tradition, November 21 – February 21, 2016.
