About the Durham Arts Council:
The Durham Arts Council is a private nonprofit dedicated to supporting the arts in Durham and the Triangle Region in North Carolina.  DAC promotes excellence in and access to the creation, experience and active support of the arts for all the people of our community.

The DAC helps professional and amateur artists and arts organizations produce music, theatre, dance, visual, media and literary art. They also help residents and visitors find, enjoy and participate in the artistic and cultural events available in the community.

They program classes in the performing, literary and visual arts for toddlers through seniors and work with public and private schools to provide artist residencies designed for the classroom.
