Local artists spent Tuesday creating with more than 300 children, adults and seniors during the ninth annual Art Splash.

United Rehabilitation Services of Greater Dayton played host the event for those who attend youth and adult services programs.

This year’s talent includes photographers, visual artists and musicians. They will work with a variety of media including sculpture, painting and metal.

“Art is one of the many enrichment activities we offer the individuals we serve each day,” said URS Executive Director Dennis Grant. “Thanks to the generosity of these local artists, we can offer a meaningful cultural experience to them.”

The URS Art Splash is only one of many events held in conjunction with the 15th annual URS Rubber Duck Regatta that will be held on Sept. 15 during the Hispanic Heritage Festival. That’s when 20,000 rubber ducks will be dropped into the Great Miami River at RiverScape Metropark for a chance to win seven great prizes.
