Community Calendar

Let us bring our heartbeats to the ground in this slow flow class, where gentle movement and rest meet.

Pamper yourself in this 1.5-hour experience while we find our mindful breath and celebrate our body in movement. Gentle movement will slowly transition into restorative poses that will be aided in the use of props.

This evening is a sweet reminder of how important and easy it can be to take care of yourself.

Please bring your own mat and anything else that will make you feel comfy and cozy.

Hot tea, coffee and water is provided.

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.

Foster an early love of art with Art Start Preschool Storytime at the Kettering Health Art Gallery, in partnership with the Dayton Metro Library! Parents and children ages three through six are invited to enjoy one to four stories followed by a hands-on craft led by a Rosewood instructor. Join us every 2nd Thursday of the month from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at Rosewood Arts Center. Free and open to the public!

We invite you, whether you’re a musician, poet, comedian, or just a lover of live talent, this is your night to shine—or just sit back, sip something cold, and enjoy the show. Kyle and Rob are bringing their signature energy and laid-back charm, setting the perfect stage for an evening packed with creativity and community.

Richard Lloyd is a legendary electric guitarist, singer/songwriter, and founding member of Television, a band that rose to fame with their 1977 debut release, Marquee Moon, widely regarded as one of greatest albums in rock and roll history and perhaps the most defining and highly influential release of the 1970’s New York rock scene.

Lloyd embarked on a solo career after Television disbanded, releasing seven solo albums and working as a guitarist, session musician, and band member with Matthew Sweet, John Doe, Rocket from the Tombs, and more. Released in October 2017, Lloyd’s book, Everything Is Combustible: Television, CBGB’s and Five Decades of Rock and Roll: The Memoirs of an Alchemical Guitarist establishes Lloyd as a masterful storyteller, and a humorous, insightful writer with an acerbic, razor-sharp wit.

Backing Richard Lloyd for his spring 2018 tour are second guitarist David Leonard, whom Lloyd has worked with for over three decades, drummer Kevin Tooley, who has toured with Paul Young, China Crisis, Midge Ure, Katrina, English Beat, Certain General, and bassist Tom Currier, a veteran of many tours with Dave Davies of The Kinks and eight albums over quarter century with The Jigsaw Seen.

In Small Measure is our inaugural fundraising exhibition where we ask participants to create a postcard sized work of art, donate it to us, and in exchange, it will be included in an exhibition on February 13-14, 2026 at The Contemporary Dayton, Dayton, Ohio’s contemporary art center.
