A Summer Recap
Artists, Eric Payne & Jesper Beckholt, took over the gallery this summer! These artists have a lot to celebrate. (Pictured below)
Summer 2026 also marked our first-ever MYS Burlesque Summer Fest! Dancers from the summer cohort, directed by Maven & Torch, performed on the building’s loading dock. We were able to perform alongside one of a kind murals from the past Brick City Mural Festival (https://www.daytondailynews.com/entertainment/events/this-weekend-mural-fest-to-feature-150-live-artists-in-downtown-dayton/article_4bc2b039-fc82-4c9f-bdea-097f28ffdcb5.html) . The murals became the perfect backdrop and really highlighted the core experience.
