Enjoy a cozy morning of clay with a fun luminary project (which could easily serve as a cute night or a holiday gift for a special someone!), no clay experience required! These little tree luminaries are simple in their construction to make, but decorating them is the best part! Each family will receive a 2lb pre-rolled slab of clay (can make approximately 2 medium luminaries or 3-4 smaller ones, max is 4 please!) as well as an armature to wrap their clay on. There will be tools to make small punches, and glaze to decorate with! Please allow 2-3.5 weeks as these need ample time to dry before firing. Each luminary will receive 1 LED tea light with pickup. Participants will be notified by Moraine Parks and Recreation when they're ready. Registration is required. Register one person per 4 family members. If there are more than 4 family members, please register an additional family member. This is not a drop-off program.

The Contemporary Dayton is proud to present Xaviera Simmons: Figure Eleven, a major solo exhibition bringing together recent works in photography, painting, video, and the world premiere of a new body of bronze sculptures by one of the most bold and visionary artists of our time.

Simmons’ practice is deeply rooted in art history, both through deliberate assertion and continuous engagement, drawing on references that span from antiquity and the American landscape to contemporary media. Her work unfolds through a cinematic sensibility, where narrative, movement, and stillness intersect. This is evident in her photographic series such as American Book Covers and Sundown, in her monumental text paintings, and now in this new body of bronze sculptures.

Performance, choreography, and the sensual are integral to Simmons’ artistic language. In this recent sculptural work, these elements coalesce into forms that feel both classical and contemporary. As with much of her practice, Figure Eleven situates art history within an ongoing continuum, like a film that resists final resolution.

The sculptures recall the Venus of Willendorf and Venus de Milo while simultaneously reflecting the multiplicity of contemporary bodies and motifs. Their power lies in their capacity to collapse and reconcile distinct historical and cultural narratives. The figures embody a poised stillness that resonates with the language of movement and performance. Figure Eleven, both the exhibition’s title and the newest figurative sculpture, appears as if drawn from a film still, a moment suspended between gesture and permanence.

Meet beloved cartoonists Jim Borgman and Jerry Scott. Enjoy an interview, some drawing, and Q&A with the artists. Book signing will follow. Bring your own books. There will not be a sale. In partnership with the Great Lakes Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society.

Together Jim Borgman and Jerry Scott create the hugely popular comic strip "Zits", which appears in the Dayton Daily and many other newspapers around the country. Scott also writes "Baby Blues", another popular comic strip that appears in the Dayton Daily News. Each has won the prestigious Reuben Award for Cartoonist of the Year, and Borgman received the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning at the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Saturday, November 15 at Trail Town Brewing: Achilles Tenderloin, with special guest Chad Wonsik! The music starts at 7:30 PM in beautiful Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Springboro Community Theatre is proud to present Footloose the Musical.
When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

SCT is also partnering with the Springboro United Church of Christ to host a food drive benefitting their Pole Pantry. There is a barrel located in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center to put food items. Mostly requested items include: Pet food, baby wipes, pop tarts, canned meat/tuna/chicken, and shelf stable milk. If you bring a food item to a performance of Footloose, you will receive a $2 off coupon for one of our future productions. Please consider helping us, help our community.
