What is the Sideshow? | ||
| Little did we know in 2006 that the Sideshow would become a Dayton fixture. It started with a simple idea to throw an Art Show that was free for the community. Soon that first event evolved into a variety of artists working together to build an event bigger and more magnificent than any of them could build on their own. Those two themes still guide the Sideshow today. What can you expect to see at a Sideshow - Anything and Everything! Each year is different - new artists exhibiting for the first time, established artists debuting new work, live music, performance, and somethings we can't even predict. It's a two day celebration of the art of Dayton! Even better, if you are an artist, musician, or just a lover of the arts - You can participate! The Sideshow is an event run by volunteers and created by the artists and musicians who chose to exhibit their work. We encourage anyone to apply! Deadline for applying to this year's show is March 26, 2011. | ||

Sideshow Fundraising Shows | ||
| A reality of the Sideshow is that it takes money to put on - money to buy building supplies, money to rent porta-johns, money to hire the soundman, money to put out a great food spread, and a number of other expenses. We would love if we could do the show entirely for free, but our true goal is to put on a great show that doesn't end up costing us money to present. One way we help achieve this goal is to have a very fun and entertaining fundraising shows before the Sideshow - for the price of admission, you will get a full evening of excitement and intrigue - and you will help fund one of the best celebrations Dayton has to offer! Do your part and bring everyone you know! | ||
