Dayton Art Ball

For 69 years, Art Ball has been the Miami Valley’s premier social event. This annual black-tie soiree is attended by more than 650 community and corporate leaders, top museum supporters, and community patrons, and raises critical funds towards the museum’s mission of bringing art to all. Hosted by the DAI’s Associate Board, a volunteer group of 32 duos committed to sustaining the museum and the art Dayton treasures. This year’s Art Ball will be chaired by Myla Cardona-Jones and Alan Cardona, and co-chaired by Emilee and Chris Ambrose.

The evening begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by an elegant sit-down dinner from Kohler Catering. After dinner, Art Ball patrons may enjoy live music, dancing and the ability to take advantage of some of the museum’s most special places: Hale Cloister and Museum Rotunda, as well as the Moonlight Lounge on Lima Hill, which has a spectacular view of downtown Dayton. Throughout the evening, open bars are available, along with specialty bubbles, martinis and bourbon selections.
