MISSION STATEMENT
In 2012, leadership of the Dayton Opera, Dayton Ballet, and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra created a groundbreaking and innovative merger, forging these three art forms into one organization. This merger is the first of its kind in the nation—in no other city can performing arts lovers experience the dramatic collaboration with the range and depth of experiences offered here. Dayton Performing Arts Alliance’s (DPAA) fundamental conviction is that the arts are for everyone. Our driving purpose is to inspire as many people as we can, of every generation and background, to fall in love with the arts. The first element of our strategic platform is to produce unique, memorable artistic and social experiences. The second is to make the arts universally accessible. It is our burning imperative to rebuild and expand our audiences, so we continually ensure that everyone is included in our invitation through Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) initiatives and programming.
