Art For All: Dayton Art Institute to offer Free Admission for a Special Day

On Sunday, June 1, 2025, the Dayton Art Institute (DAI) will welcome art lovers of all backgrounds to the museum, free of charge, for a special Art For All day.

Art for All reinforces the Dayton Art Institute’s commitment to accessibility by offering

free general admission to all visitors. Guests can explore the collection galleries,

as well as the current Special and Focus Exhibitions.

This initiative is made possible with the generosity and vision of our dedicated sponsors: Patron Sponsors Ramona and Todd Vikan and Supporting Sponsors Eric and Karen Spina.

The museum is open from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Throughout 2025, DAI will offer two additional Art for All days on Sunday, August 17 and Sunday, December 7. The Art for All dates were carefully selected to coincide with the major highlights in the DAI’s exhibition schedule, giving guests a chance to see all three of the DAI’s Special Exhibitions, including Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled (June 1), Curtis Barnes, Sr., Dayton Icon (August 17) and The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art (December 7).

Additional current and upcoming exhibitions at the museum include A Taste for Pop: gifts from S. Bradley Gillaugh (on view until May 25, 2025), Contemporary Japanese Ceramics from the Horvitz Collection (on view until September 2025), Themes in Yoshitoshi’s 100 Aspects of the Moon: Heroism & Loyalty (on view until July 13, 2025) and Cats in Art and Dogs in Art (on view June 18–September 14, 2025).
