The Dayton Society of Artists (DSA) is Dayton's premier art organization. It was originally founded as the Dayton Society of Painters and Sculptors in 1938 by artists in association with the Dayton Art Institute where meetings and exhibits took place for many years. The opportunity to have a gallery of their own came during the Dayton urban renewal project of the 1960s when the members bought the Victorian style house at 48 High Street for $6,525. During that time, the organization applied for and became an official non-profit. Keeping with its 19th century charm and authenticity, the house was remodeled and converted into an art gallery and the DSA continues to make improvements. In 2016 the name was changed from the Dayton Society of Painters and Sculptors to be more inclusive as the Dayton Society of Artists. Currently, the DSA exhibits seven shows a year and provides workshops and events to their members, artists, and the community to fulfill their mission to "connect, support, and educate artists and the community."
