A special shoutout to Dayton Children’s and artist Matt Burgy for helping bring the Campaign for the Arts to life.

This spring, Culture Works has supported live painting experiences at workplace giving campaign events, including Dayton Children’s South Campus on June 4 and Dayton Children’s Main Campus on June 18. Matt created these original paintings live during the events, and the finished works will be donated back to Dayton Children’s to auction in support of their campaign.

It’s a beautiful example of how local artists can help make workplace giving feel creative, meaningful, and connected to the community.

Thank you to Dayton Children’s for supporting the arts, and to Matt for sharing his talent in such a memorable way.

The Campaign for the Arts is made possible through workplace giving campaigns across our community.

A special thank you to Premier Health for featuring harpist Bobbie Strobhar, and to Dayton Children’s for welcoming artist Matt Burgy and musician Danny Voris through their Workplace Giving Campaign.

When local workplaces invest in the arts, they help create opportunities for artists and enrich our community for everyone.
