Where Art Comes Alive: Front Street Celebrates 60 Years of Creativity

Front Street, Dayton’s largest collective of artists, artisans, and entrepreneurs, is celebrating sixty years as Dayton’s hub for art and culture. Fueling innovation and creativity since 1965, Front Street has been home to generations of aspiring artists and entrepreneurs.

Originally an envelope factory, Front Street was re-purposed as an incubator for innovation, evolving into a vibrant tapestry of artistic expression. Today, visitors can explore a diverse range of artistic endeavors, from the delicate strokes of painting to the fiery passion of glassblowing.

But Front Street has evolved to be more than just an art gallery. This eclectic campus offers a unique blend of creativity and convenience, featuring everything from a state-of-the-art gym and luxurious spa to custom jewelry and furniture, stylish salons and more. It's a destination for the active Daytonian seeking both artistic inspiration and everyday essentials.
