Graul Chair in Arts and Languages
Dayton Funk Symposium
This symposium brings together scholars, teachers, students and performing artists to explore and experience the innovative African American Funk music movement that put Dayton, Ohio, on the map in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to its identification as the World Capitol of Funk.
The event was made possible in part by a Culture Works special project grant and The Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District.
