New dates, location for Dayton Artistry in Wood
Dave Long
There are new dates and a new location for Artistry in Wood, a popular carving/turning/furniture show held in mid-November in Dayton, Ohio for the past 40 plus years. The event is sponsored by the Dayton Carvers Guild with attendance around 10,000 every year.
The 2016 show has been moved to Sept 3-4 at Roberts Arena near Wilmington, Ohio (located near Dayton and Cincinnati). Go to www.daytoncarvers.com for more details.
The show had been held at the Dayton Airport Expo Center for a number of years. It is an outstanding facility with 108,000 square feet, excellent vendor access and free parking for 1,000 cars with 150 yards of the main entry and easy to get to off both I-75 and I-70.
The expo center was operated by the City of Dayton which couldn't find the funds for upkeep and repairs. So it is turning the building over neighboring Dayton International Airport to used as a storage facility.
