Bridge the Gap: Help Sustain The Co & Get Exclusive Access!

As we approach the end of our fiscal year on June 30, 2025, The Contemporary Dayton is energized by what’s ahead—exciting new exhibitions, impactful Arts & Wellness programs, and hands-on professional development workshops for artists. But to keep this momentum going, we must bridge the gap in our funding. Your support now is critical to helping us finish strong and continue delivering bold, inclusive, and transformative experiences for our community.

To thank you for your generosity, we’re offering exclusive donor experiences when you contribute by May 14 or June 26.

How You Can Help

We’re asking 50 supporters to give at least $100 to help us reach our goal. Every donation makes a difference, and gifts of $150 or more unlock even more special access!
