The Dayton Dragons will host Culture Works, the funding, advocacy and service organization supporting arts and culture in the Dayton region, at Day Air Ballpark Thursday, May 19 through Sunday, May 22 in support of the annual Culture Works fundraising campaign.

The weekend will include Culture Works performers singing the national anthem during the events. There will also be Culture Works first pitches, inning break performances, plaza performances, radio interviews and TV interviews.

A new large-scale mural with an outdoor theme is underway on the south side of the Printpoint Printing building, 150 S. Patterson Blvd. The mural, entitled "Twighlight," is designed by artist Gae Helton. It is being produced by the K12 Gallery & TEJAS and artists in the Montgomery County Juvenile Court's HAALO Program. LISA POWELL / STAFF
