Dayton's largest community of artists and artisans
A message from the office...
Out of an abundance of caution, Front Street has made the difficult decision to cancel our events in December including 1st Friday, and 3rd Sunday. The Christkindl Market will launch a virtual shopping guide right here, on December 4th.
Our STUDIOS and GALLERIES are still OPEN throughout the week. Please check individual artist profiles for their current hours and contact information, and remember to bring your mask and follow social distancing guidelines during your visit.
We can't wait to see you at Front Street!
