Gem City Gems is a specially designed exhibit series highlighting familiar and unfamiliar African American visual artists with ties to the Dayton Miami Valley Region. This first series features the art of the late Robert Neal, 1926-1987; Tyrone Geter, a 1968 graduate of Roosevelt High School now residing in Brooklyn, NY; Mariella Owens, a master ceramic artist and teacher residing in Mapleton, GA., and Abner Cope, originally from Savannah, GA. and lived in Dayton, OH from 1980-2010, currently residing in Commerce, GA.

These four gifted and highly creative artists who migrated to the Dayton area from the South, contributed greatly to the African American art and culture scene during the time they lived in Dayton, OH, leaving fond memories and lasting contributions, which several of them are continuing to do in their current home.
