This collection includes gallery photos and promotional postcards for exhibits presented in the space at ArtStreet known over its existence as Studio D and the White Box Gallery.
ArtStreet opened in 2004 as a unique learning and living arts complex in the heart of the South Student Neighborhood. ArtStreet combines innovative living spaces with multipurpose studio facilities as part of a University initiative to integrate academic and experiential learning with community living. The Studio D Gallery (later renamed the White Box Gallery) was designed to host art exhibits as well as informal performances and events.
The White Box became the place where the curriculum for the Institute of Applied Creativity for Transformation (IACT) at ArtStreet came to life. These 4D (sight, sound, space and emotion) immersive experiences transferred information – in this case, creative theory – into space for the students to absorb and apply.
In 2017, the gallery space became known as the White Box Lab, a creative collaboration space for transdisciplinary learning and humanity-centered design.
In 2021, IACT offices moved to Roesch Library, and the space it occupied in ArtStreet became the Brook Center for Empowerment and Well-Being.

Installation View: 'Archaeology of a Neighborhood'
Exhibit dates: January 4–February 10, 2010
A student-created exhibit on display at ArtStreet uncovers the history of one of UD's best-known symbols of community: the south student neighborhood. Archaeology of a Neighborhood, a Fall 2009 SEE (Sustainability, Energy and Environment) integrated arts course, offered an interdisciplinary approach to uncovering the history of the UD Student Neighborhood. Students created work in a variety of media, including visual place maps, archival and re-photography projects, installation, and multi-media projects incorporating interviews and images. The course was instructed by Dr. Robert Brecha, Coordinator of SEE and Professor of Physics, and Dennie Eagleson, Artist in Residence.
"This has been a process of looking back, unpeeling layers of history and community," said Dennie Eagleson, co-instructor of the course. "The result is a great testimony to the importance of the neighborhood and the places — the particular memories — that alumni have about the neighborhood."The exhibit features 11 documentary-style audiovisual interviews with alumni who lived in the student neighborhood in the '70s, '80s and '90s. The students also interviewed 11 "community builders" — people associated with University of Dayton who are currently making significant contributions to the neighborhood. The interviews will be shown on a television in the center of the studio, complete with mismatched furniture and decorations to replicate the decor of a typical house in the student neighborhood.The walls are covered with traditional, two-dimensional displays, including personal place maps and a photo mosaic of student houses in the neighborhood, combined to create the student-housing logo. Other projects include a song, audio slideshows of the sounds of the student neighborhood, interviews with current students and rephotography — the combination of old and recent photographs of the same place.
Participating students: Hillary Cutter, Tracy Flagg, Molly Geib, Eileen Kennedy, Christa Kling, Lindsie MacPherson, Drew Morrison, Alix Omori, Kaitlyn Reed, Brad Ryczko, Jordan Schneider, and Leah Winneke.Course and exhibit supported by ArtStreet and the Mann Chair in the Sciences.
