Montgomery County believes its arts and cultural amenities play a valuable part in our quality of life, making the county a vibrant community in which to live, work, and play.
The Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District is not a geographic entertainment area. Rather, it is a government body similar to a school district or parks district. The Arts and Cultural District supports, nurtures, and encourages the development and preservation of arts and culture throughout Montgomery County, primarily by funding arts and cultural organizations and institutions.
While the County boasts a wide variety of arts and cultural organizations, the following institutions, destinations, and organizations make up our larger institutions and organizations. All of them are recipients of public funding by the Arts and Cultural District:
Boonshoft Museum of Discovery
The Contemporary Dayton
Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC)
Dayton Performing Arts Alliance
(Ballet, Opera, Philharmonic)
Dayton Public Radio
(WDPR, 88.1 FM)
Dayton Public Television
(ThinkTV, Channels 14/16)
Victoria Theatre Association
We Care Arts
Additionally, MCACD provides funding to Culture Works to support local artists and administer the Artist Opportunity Grants. Online applications will be accepted through October 1, 2019.
