Dear Friends of THE NEON

What a year for Cinema, Culture and Community! Because of your loyal patronage, Dayton’s beloved art house theater continues to thrive. We have reimagined ourselves into the trifecta of the three C’s: our local Community coming together to celebrate Cinema and sharing Cultural ideas. These three words define who we are. We write to you today to ask for your support to continue this worthwhile mission.

Take a look at what we were able to accomplish with your financial support this past year:

• Summer Patio Parties with guest celebrity hosts made a splash for 13 Fridays.
• Our partnership with Dayton Art Institute resulted in sold out screenings of art films about Vermeer, Monet, Cassatt, Kahlo, and more.
• Partnering with Think TV and Dayton Metro Library for our Free Family Summer Series grew this year to packed houses for 6 Saturdays in June and July.
• From MLK Dayton, Inc. to Muse Machine, THE NEON partnered with numerous non-profits and educational institutions to bring big screen events to life.
• Nuanced cultural festivals and special screenings were celebrated by our community such as The Dayton Jewish Film Festival and Out Here Dayton Film Fest.
• Thursday trivia nights brought out movie fans showing off their knowledge.
• Our newly created Date Night Series celebrated screenings of classics You’ve Got Mail and Romancing the Stone. (Look forward to four date nights next year!)
• New Neon merchandise - check out the stylized section in the lobby.
• Our Eichelberg Patio debuts in 2024 with a new canopy, lighting and sound system.
• THE NEON’s newly designed website and our new membership program.
• Parking Lot enhancements for added customer safety underway.
• There’s a lot happening and we are just getting started. With your financial support, we will ensure that THE NEON remains Dayton’s prominent player in connecting Cinema and Culture with our Community. Thank you! You are the ones who move the mission of THE NEON forward every day as we continue to bring new and needed films to our city!
