Events at the Gallery

12 West 1st St, Dayton, OH
70 Capacity
$375 to $1,400 / Event
This versatile, thoughtfully designed space is ideal for a wide range of creative and professional uses, including photo and video shoots, intimate events, workshops, pop-ups, small gatherings, content creation, and private celebrations. Its flexible layout allows guests to easily adapt the environment to suit their needs, whether hosting a seated event, setting up production equipment, or creating styled scenes. The venue features two distinct yet complementary zones—Walker Hall and Shroyer Hall—each offering its own unique atmosphere and functionality. Walker Hall is a spacious, gallery-inspired setting with an open floor plan, high industrial ceilings, and a clean, modern aesthetic. Designed as a true blank canvas, it works beautifully for larger gatherings, brand activations, receptions, and creative productions, allowing guests to fully customize the layout and flow. Shroyer Hall provides a more intimate experience, featuring a flexible central gathering area, a cozy recessed lounge nook, and space for catering or breakout moments. Its warm, inviting design and adaptable layout make it ideal for smaller events, meetings, workshops, and relaxed social gatherings. Together, these two spaces can be used individually or combined for multi-room experiences, giving guests the flexibility to create dynamic events with separate areas for mingling, programming, or staging. Natural light, curated design elements, and a balance of historic character and modern finishes create an elevated yet approachable atmosphere throughout. Guests also benefit from flexible furniture arrangements, open wall space for installations or backdrops, and a layout that supports seamless flow between activities. Whether you're planning a creative project, professional event, or private celebration, the space offers a unique blend of style, adaptability, and intentional design.
