“The Dayton Art Institute is committed to being a museum for all,” said DAI Director & CEO Michael R. Roediger, in a news release. “Last year, the museum offered two community days and we were overwhelmed with the response. It was incredibly exciting to see many guests attend who had never visited the museum before. As a result, we were inspired to offer additional opportunities to connect with our community in 2023.”
