53 Years of creating community through the arts!

OUR MissiOnThe Durham Arts Council's mission is to promote excellence in and access to the creation, experience, and active suport of the arts for all people of our community.

our HIStorYFounded in 1954 to promote and nurture the arts of Durham, Allied Arts was renamed Durham Arts Council, Inc. (DAC) in 1975. Three years later, the Council moved into the historic Central High School and City Hall building which was constructed in 1906. In the mid-1980s, after a three year renovation, the city-owned building became DAC’s long-term home.

our FuNDINgDAC is a private, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that receives funding through grants and contributions from the the North Carolina Arts Council, the City of Durham, private foundations, corporations and individuals, plus earned income from fee-based programs and services. For more information about Durham Arts Council programs and giving opportunities is available by calling (919) 560-2707 or online at www.durhamarts.org.

For 53 years, the Durham Arts Council has helped shape the artistic and cultural landscape of the region through the support of a diverse community of artists, patrons and organizations. We have achieved this through steadfast dedication to our mission of promoting excellence in and access to the creation, experience and active support of the arts for all people.

As one of the oldest arts councils in the country, and historically one of the strongest in North Carolina, the Durham Arts Council fills not one, but three major goals through which it carries out its mission:
