The K12 Gallery and Teen Educational and Joint Adult Studio (TEJAS) located at 341 S Jefferson Street is a visual arts center inspiring people of all ages to create art in an encouraging environment. There are over 400 on-site art classes and exhibitions and over 1000 off site classes at 15 urban locations. The center was created in 1993 by teacher Jerri Stanard. Through her dedication to engaging people through arts, she has turned the non-profit into the leader for visual arts in the Dayton area.

One avenue of community engagement is introducing the healing power of arts to low-income students, youth on probation, adults with disabilities, and survivors of domestic violence. K12 Gallery & TEJAS continues to organize public art projects to further reach the community.
