Call for Entry: Dayton Studio Tour

The Contemporary Dayton invites artists and creatives working in all media to apply for the Dayton Studio Tour, an event that gives the community a chance to visit working studios and meet artists. Artists working in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and other creative disciplines are encouraged to apply. There is no fee to participate.

Artists of all disciplines and career stages are welcome. To be eligible, a studio must be an active working space where creative work is produced, located within a 10-mile radius of downtown Dayton, easily accessible and near parking. Participating artists agree to welcome visitors and be present in their studios during tour hours on October 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., take part in social media promotion, display Studio Tour signage, and attend the public Artist Afterparty hosted by The Contemporary Dayton at the conclusion of the tour, October 10 from 5 to 7 p.m.

The Contemporary Dayton will create and distribute a digital Studio Tour map, provide signage for each participating studio, promote the event, and host the afterparty. Artists may choose whether to offer work for sale during the tour, retain 100% of all sales, and manage their own transactions.
