“The Rubi Girls have been longtime supporters of the DAI, putting on benefit performances at the museum in 2013 and 2015,” Michael Roediger, director and CEO of the Dayton Art Institute, said in a release. “This year they are putting on a special Centennial Benefit for the DAI, in celebration of our 100th anniversary. This event is one of the DAI’s ‘100 Happenings for 100 Years,’ and a great way to come out and support the DAI and The Rubi Girls.”

An after-party will be hosted at Mudlick Taphouse from 10:30 p.m. to midnight. A percentage of the after-party sales at Mudlick Taphouse will go back to the museum, and throughout the weekend, Mudlick Taphouse will be accepting donations on behalf of the museum for the centennial.
