RFQ for Proposed Mural at Sunrise MetroPark

By

The Contemporary Dayton (The Co) announces a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for artists, artist teams, designers, or architects who live within a 50-mile radius of Dayton to design an outdoor mural for the Centennial Overlook at Sunrise MetroPark.

This small urban park is situated on a high bank above The Great Miami River. Its walkways are filled with stunning views of the city and skyline that change with the light of day. Prairie plantings and wildflowers draw in wildlife from the adjacent river habitat and make the park a serene spot for relaxing. Catch a glimpse of the large and graceful blue herons that frequent the area. Watch the Wolf Creek spill into the Great Miami up close from the paved river walkway at the foot of the stairs. An ambitious plan for Sunrise MetroPark has been proposed as part of the Dayton Riverfront Plan. Centennial Park is the first phase of that plan.

The proposed mural location is comprised of a two-sided curved staircase from the landing at Centennial Overlook down to the Great Miami River. The mural is part of a larger project at Sunrise MetroPark to draw people down to the river and will feature the poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, On the River (abbreviated):

“The sun is low
The waters flow
My boat is dancing to and fro
The paddles splash,
The wavelets dash,
We see the summer lightning flash
Where neither bird
Nor beast has stirred,
he spotted bullfrog’s croak is heard”

The RFQ is the first of a three-phased process concluding with the installation of a single public art project with a budget of $12,000 for design, materials, and production. The project selection committee will choose up to three finalists that will receive a $750 stipend for their proposal.

The deadline to submit an RFQ is Monday, April 11, 2022, and should be submitted to Cydnie King, Curatorial Assistant at The Co by emailing [email protected]. For more details, please visit codayton.org/events/call-for-entry.

Dave Chappelle Documentary Screening in Yellow Springs

By

Fueled by the murder of George Floyd, shut-in by the closures of business and unable to perform around the country, the movie follows Dave Chappelle as he provides the community he calls home with two things desperately needed in difficult times – economic and comic relief. What began as an experimental socially-distanced live comedy show in a neighbor’s cornfield, grew into an unforgettable summer with his neighbors, friends and fellow comedians. Ultimately, Chappelle’s cornfield concerts would serve as a model of courage not just for his community, but for the entire live entertainment industry.
The documentary is a Dave Chappelle’s Pilot Boy Production, produced and directed by Oscar and Emmy winning filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar (American Factory).

Crafted & Cured Announces New Location

By

Crafted & Cured, Dayton’s purveyor of premium craft beer, artisanal meats and cheeses, today announced it will open a new location in the iconic First National Bank building in downtown Troy.

The new Crafted & Cured location will offer a full-service retail shop and restaurant selling craft beer, boutique wines, cured meats, artisanal cheeses and champagnes. Customers may purchase items to-go or for dine-in service in the historic landmark.

“In 2016, we opened Crafted & Cured to create a customer experience of delicious artisanal items married with a historic, unique atmosphere,” said Christian Alvarez, co-owner, Crafted & Cured. “When given the opportunity to extend that customer experience to Troy in a setting unlike anything else in Ohio, we knew this was the right place for us.”

Alvarez and co-owner Andy Routson plan to use the 11,900 square foot of space to expand on the experience customers knew and loved in their Dayton location. The site will have a full liquor license and offer bourbon and cocktails. Routson and Alvarez will grow their craft services to include in-house cheeses, cured meats and more. Later phases of the expansion include plans for catering and on-site community events.

The co-owners anticipate hiring a crew of 20-30 team members at the new location and are already seeking candidates for full-time managerial positions, charcutiers and bartenders. Interested candidates can apply by email at [email protected].

Located at 8 South Market Street, Crafted & Cured will be a welcome addition to Troy’s growing downtown restaurant and business scene when it opens later this year.

“Crafted & Cured is a natural, strong addition to Troy’s historic downtown,” said Wade Westfall, Four Sons Development site developer. “Given its proven record of creating a memorable, unique and delicious experience for customers in Dayton, I look forward to Crafted & Cured being a similar destination for visitors and residents in Troy.”

Alvarez and Routson closed their downtown Dayton location in mid-2020 amid the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the duo planned to relocate to the Dayton Arcade, they ultimately decided the Troy development was most viable for the immediate future.

“We love Dayton and are deeply grateful for all the support the community has shown us,” said Routson. “We are excited for this next chapter, and we are still committed to being part of the Dayton community and finding a new home in downtown Dayton.”

EMI Nashville’s Brothers Osborne announced today additional dates on their headlining “WE’RE NOT FOR EVERYONE” TOUR. The GRAMMY-nominated duo will stop in Huber Heights, OH for their first ever performance at Rose Music Center at The Heights on Friday, August 26.

Two sons from a working-class family, John and TJ Osborne grew up in a small, Maryland water town writing and playing songs for friends and family in their father’s shed. John moved to Nashville first to play in other bands and two years later, TJ joined him. It was then they formed Brothers Osborne as a duo that blends equal parts country and rock into one of the freshest, most identifiable sounds to come out of Nashville in recent years. The singer/songwriter siblings took home their fourth Vocal Duo of the Year trophy at the 55th Annual CMA Awards, in addition to being named ACM Duo of the Year twice. Overall Brothers Osborne have collected five CMA and five ACM trophies and stand as nine-time GRAMMY nominees – including vying for Best Country Album (Skeletons) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Younger Me”) at the upcoming 64th GRAMMY Awards. Additionally, they received the ASCAP Vanguard Award in 2019 recognizing artists whose innovative work is helping to shape the future of music.

Brothers Osborne released a deluxe edition of their third studio album, Skeletons, on January 21. Originally released in October 2020, Skeletons features their current single “I’m Not For Everyone,” as well as their Top 25 hit “All Night.” Included on Skeletons Deluxe, “Younger Me” was released in April as a response to the overwhelming support TJ received after sharing his personal story. John and TJ wrote and produced the track, with Kendell Marvel serving as an additional co-writer. Initially breaking through with their debut album Pawn Shop, the Gold Certified project featured three GRAMMY-nominated tracks including the 2X Platinum Certified No. 1 smash hit “Stay A Little Longer,” Top 10 Platinum Certified hit “It Ain’t My Fault,” and Gold Certified Top 25 hit “21 Summer.” Their sophomore album, Port Saint Joe, was nominated for Best Country Album at the 61st GRAMMY Awards and includes the Top 40 GRAMMY-nominated singles “Shoot Me Straight” as well as “I Don’t Remember Me (Before You).”

Brothers Osborne are currently on their WE’RE NOT FOR EVERYONE TOUR, hitting over 50 markets including New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Dallas, Atlanta and more. Brothers Osborne has previously toured with Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert and more. In 2019 the duo embarked on a Headlining World Tour including three sold-out nights at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville which were recorded for their album, Live At The Ryman.

10 ?’s with Sueno’s Executive Chef Jorge Guzman

By

Jorge Guzman is a partner and executive chef at the contemporary Mexican restaurant Sueno, in downtown Datyon.  He also spends time in  Minneapolis- running his  restaurant Petite Leon, for which he recently nominated for a prestigious James Beard award for Best Chef, one of the highest honors in the culinary world.  This is his 3rd nomination.

Born in Mexico City and raised in Mérida and the Yucatán,  before relocating to  Missouri when he was five.  He spent  summers  in Mérida, surrounded by his grandmother, aunts and cousins around the big family table, give him a deep connection to the region and its cooking traditions. “It’s hard to convey the emotion I have for Mérida over written word. It is my home.”

Jorge recently made time to answer our standard Chef 10 questions:

What is your favorite ingredient to cook with?

I don’t have a favorite ingredient to cook with but I find vegetables to be more complex and enjoyable to cook with. You can do so much with vegetables and the choices are endless.

What ingredient do you dread?

 I don’t really dread any ingredient but I really hate pealing shrimp for some reason.

What’s your favorite dish to make?

 Right now my favorite dish to make is Frijol con Puerco. Its a traditional pork and bean stew from the Yucatàn. I grew up eating it and I really love cooking it. The smells and flavors really remind me of home.

What’s your favorite pig out food?

 I have a major sweet tooth! In Minneapolis we have a bakery thats about 2 blocks away from our current home called Black Walnut. I can’t walk out of there without a box full of pastries for me and the family.

What restaurant, other than your own, do you like to dine at in the Miami Valley?

 I really don’t get out much when I’m here because I’m working most of the time but if I can snag a sandwich from Grist its always a treat, as well as their focaccia bread . . .so good.

Focaccia from Grist

What’s your best advice for home chefs?

 Be ok with failing and with being scared to try something new.

If you could invite any 4 guests to a dinner party who would they be and why?

My wife’s brother, he died 6 years ago and I never got the chance to meet him

My sister who passed away shortly after birth before I was born, i think it would have been great to have an older sister

My best friend Scott who passed away while we were in college, we were supposed to take this culinary journey together and I think he’d be proud of me, to see how far I’ve gotten

 

Who do you look up to in the industry and why?

There are quite a few chefs and operators that I look up to in the industry.

What do you do in the Miami Valley on a day off?

Really love hiking, there are some really great spots here.

Share a kitchen disaster, lucky break or other interesting story:

I think getting the job at Surly (Surly Brewing in Minneapolis) was a really amazing thing for me. It finally gave me a platform to show people and the industry what I was capable of. I’m thankful for that I had the opportunity to work there at the time that I did.
