The Orphanage Gallery
The Orphanage is a unique Dayton Art Gallery. Unique in that we employ a "Pop-Up" format for all Gallery Exhibits. We rotate our exhibitors in and out of the Gallery on a monthly basis. New works are always on display and Artists pay no fees of any kind to display their work.

Our Gallery also houses builders space for tradesmen, studios for artists, and gallery space for display and sale of the items they create. Located in the campus of the iconic Front Street Buildings in Dayton's Arts District, The Orphanage is one of the area's best kept secrets!
We participate with the local Arts events like First Friday, a monthly "Art Hop" which draws people from all over the area to see nationally known and local Fine Artists to the Downtown area. The Orphanage encourages new artists to display their art! We offer the Gallery to anyone interested in a PopUp show featuring their work during these public events at no cost to the artist! During the summer months, Third Sunday is and outdoor market that takes place at our front door! Local vendors, farmers, artists and more set up shop for a family oriented fun afternoon make for another opportunity for Artists to use our Gallery space for public viewing.
