Dayton Aerospace is proud to welcome Kei Harada as the new Artistic Director of the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance (DPAA). With a reputation for visionary leadership and a deep commitment to artistic excellence, Harada brings fresh energy and inspiration to our region’s thriving arts community.

At Dayton Aerospace, we are honored to partner with the DPAA in supporting our military community. As the aerospace sponsor for the DPAA’s Military Appreciation Program, we help provide scholarships for military families to attend the Dayton Ballet School, ensuring that children of service members have opportunities to explore and grow through the arts.
We are also proud to sponsor the DPAA’s Hometown Heroes Program, where members of the military are recognized for their service and given free tickets to performances. It’s one small way to say “thank you” and to highlight the vital role our servicemen and women play in our community.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Kei Harada—we’re excited to see how his vision will guide the DPAA and enrich the cultural life of our city.
