4. Where can my guests park?
It’s the most common question we hear from people planning book our venue. We are a downtown facility. The city of Dayton owns most of the parking or the parking lots are privately owned. We have 2 parking garages next to us on First Street, and an open-air lot directly to the side of our Main St entrance. On-street parking is available for free - evenings & weekends. Parking meters are enforced from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday - Friday. For an interactive map & parking options, please click here.

We are located right next door to the luxurious Ardent Hotel, and are happy to get you in touch with our contacts there to cover any overnight or catering needs!
6. Can we bring our own vendors?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own vendors, they must be able to provide a Certificate of Insurance that lists Events at the Gallery as an additional insured. This protects the venue as well as the hosts in the event that a vendor causes damage to the facility.
