The Dayton Skyscrapers
May 15-June 30; Reception Jun 14th 5-7 p.m.; Gallery, Roger Glass Center for the Arts
Please join the University of Dayton Department of Art and Design on June 14th, 5-7 p.m., for a reception at the Roger Glass Center for the Arts Gallery on the campus of the University of Dayton. The Dayton SkyScrapers Exhibition, organized by Willis Bing Davis. will be on view May 15th through June 30th.
The Dayton Skyscrapers art project is not a celebration of tall buildings, nor is it the modest Dayton skyline. Dayton Skyscrapers is a metaphor for those local African Americans who stand tall in our minds and hearts for what they have achieved in their field and their contributions to the quality of life of Dayton and the Miami Valley region.
The Dayton Skyscrapers project is designed to:
Identify and celebrate local African Americans who have excelled in their field.
Celebrate local African American visual artists.
Provide positive role models for urban youth.
Enhance the general community’s appreciation of African American contributions to the Dayton Miami Valley region.
The greatest national resource of any community is the creative and fertile minds of its youth. Too often, the career goals of urban youth are limited to the areas of the NFL, the NBA, and hip-hop. The Dayton Skyscrapers art project provides another group of positive and relevant African American role models for our urban youth. They are high-achieving African Americans who experienced similar educational, social, and economic hardships as many of today’s youth, and yet they excelled. This exhibit is also a visual reminder of the many artistic and creative talents that can be found across the community.
What a beautiful and meaningful concept. I love that "Dayton Skyscrapers" isn't about buildings at all — it's about honoring people who have lifted their community through achievement and contribution. The focus on providing positive role models for urban youth beyond the usual sports and entertainment paths is so important. Young people need to see that excellence exists in every field, from art to education to civic leadership. This exhibit sounds like a wonderful blend of celebration, education, and inspiration. I recently read a similar discussion on Pimpbunny about how local art projects can reshape community narratives and give young people something real to aspire to. Wishing the artists and organizers a successful reception on June 14th.
I wasn’t really planning to open anything in particular, just clicking around as usual. Somehow I ended up on Jawa138, and I stayed for a bit just to see what was there.
At first glance, everything felt pretty straightforward. I didn’t have to think too much while going through it, which made the experience more comfortable. Spending a little time on senju33 felt easy and relaxed.
Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu rauhane chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục s3udy cách sắp xếp các mục và trình bày nội dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối Berlinintim, với mình như vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. q8yat
This article provides a clear and structured explanation. From my experience, Soju88 also focuses on delivering consistent performance, which is a big plus.
