The streets of downtown Dayton will sparkle with color when Art in the City returns Saturday, Aug. 5.
The annual celebration of the arts will feature over 300 artists creating, performing and selling work throughout downtown from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Presented by the Downtown Dayton Partnership as the signature event for the AES Ohio Summer in the City program, Art in the City serves as the community’s artist outlet and a chance for art lovers to get an “up close and personal” peak at Dayton artistry in action, according to DDP President Sandra Gudorf.
“Everywhere you look downtown, you will find art, music and entertainment, sometimes in the most unexpected places,” said Gudorf, spearheading her final Art in the City having retired at the end of July after serving as DDP president for 16 years. “I love this city and I love downtown. It has been a wonderful career.”
