Do you love volleyball, and love mud, and wish you could have both at the same time? It’s definitely a creative sport – Announcing Mudstock 2009, the Epilepsy Foundation’s Mud Volleyball tournament.
We are planning to have some DCS fun at Mudstock on Saturday, July 11: If you want to join the DCS mud volleyball team, please send an email to DCS president Patrice Hall by Wednesday, June 17.
DCS has been happy to help out this great cause. Our Public Service team created a poster to help them get the word out. The final is below, designed by Tessa McDaniel.
Join us for our happy hour at Bar Louie @ The Greene this Monday, June 15th. We’ll be toasting to the success of all our May events, and looking forward to some exciting months ahead. Be sure to bring your business cards and a friend!

We love to see other groups in town helping Dayton thrive! Involvement Advocacy is planning a brand spankin’ new arts and music festival this summer. They have put out an open call for creatives to come out and help plan the festival. If you want to help that take shape, the meeting is 7pm tonight at the Excelsior Lofts on 6th Street, where we just held the Captured photo exhibit. Check ‘em out: involvementadvocacy.org
An issue most creative people struggle with is how to stay creative.
Todd Henry of Accidental Creative presented his answer to those struggles on Tuesday night at SAA in his presentation, “Create or Die: Thriving in the Create-on-Demand World.”
We had a crowd of about 65 attendees who had a chance to ask Todd a lot of questions when he was done. We’d like to congratulate Lindsey Kellis Meredith of Link Creative for winning Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium in our door prize raffle.
Thanks to all who attended and especially to Todd Henry for taking time to help inspire and educate the Dayton creative community.
Captured: An Artists Perspective photo exhibit was our first photo based exhibition that was part of the Urban Nights “Eclectic Art” section of the program. The event was held at the Excelsior Lofts located at 207 East 6th street in the historic Oregon District.
There was great weather and a great flow of people who visited the exhibit throughout the night. With refreshments to enjoy and good photography work, it was an overall success lead by the Social Committee for DCS.
DCS thanks Adam and Micah for playing music throughout the night and to Tracy Westendorf for creating the hors d’oeuvres and Connie Parrish for the amazing cookies.
Thanks to all the participants who submitted their photos and to Jack Holtel of Photographik for judging the photos as well.
Please check out all the photography work that you missed!
