Providing organization

Dayton Art Institute

The Dayton Art Institute, one of the nation’s finest mid-sized art museums, was founded in 1919 as the Dayton Museum of Arts. Its founding patrons included community leaders such as Orville Wright and the Patterson brothers, founders of NCR. The museum, which also operated a traditional art school, was quickly embraced by the entire community.
