🥂 Join Us for the 2026 Art Ball! 🎨

For 69 glorious years, the Art Ball has graced the Miami Valley as the quintessential social event and the longest-running fundraiser for the Dayton Art Institute. This esteemed black-tie affair takes place on the second Saturday in June, attracting over 600 esteemed community and corporate leaders, along with devoted museum supporters and patrons. The evening promises to deliver on its mission by raising vital funds to make art accessible to all.

Your night will commence with delightful cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, accompanied by specialty drinks and interactive activities focused on our mission. This will be followed by an elegant sit-down dinner, featuring post-dinner live music and dancing throughout the stunning museum event spaces.

The Art Ball is proudly organized by the DAI’s Associate Board, comprised of 35 dedicated duos who fulfill four-year volunteer terms to help host the museum’s most significant fundraisers. This year’s gala will be led by Myla Cardona-Jones and Alan Cardona, with co-chairs Emilee and Chris Ambrose at the helm.
