“The Dayton Region is home to so many gifted artists and cherished arts organizations,” said Lisa Hanson, executive director for Culture Works, in a release. “We are excited to be a part of the energy that comes with having a home at the Arcade and we can’t wait to showcase some of our community’s talented creators and performers as part of the weekend’s activities.”
The Afterparty at the Arcade on Friday, Aug. 6, is a ticketed evening event, with hors d’oeuvres, beverages and dancing. The immersive arts experience will feature an originally scored performance tailored for the event.
