Causes: Arts & Culture
Mission: The durango arts center provides durango and surrounding communities opportunities to create, to promote, and to participate in diverse arts experiences. The dac brings people together to explore and engage in arts and culture by fostering creative expression through in-house exhibitions, performances, and educational programs for all ages and abilities.
Programs: Dac's community theater hosted an estimated 15,000 in dac productions, as well as events by other community organizations who rent the space. As part of the 2nd annual theatre season, dac collaborated with fort lewis college and another local theatre company to deliver arthur miller's all my sons, which allowed for 224 college students to view the show free of charge. Dac fulfilled 880 registrations in the applause! Program, a year-round curriculum celebrating musical and non-musical theatre, and distributed $7000 in scholarships.
dac visual arts education fulfilled a total of 983 registrations across the adult, youth and children's classes and camps serving ages 5 and up, and distributed $4400 in scholarship requests across. Key programs include after school art, a longstanding partnership with durango school district 9r; girls opportunities through arts and leadership (goal), which focuses on skill-building for middle school girls; and creativity festivity-a 20 year old celebration of art and artists of our local schools. Creativity festivity is a 2-week event spanning an exhibit and high school poetry slam at dac, an offsite exhibit at a local cafe and an outreach performance by the applause! Program to area schools. Total audience engagement is estimated at 4,000 for this event. Finally, the dac docents led 45 presentations, free of charge, to area schools, senior centers and community organizations.
dac exhibits encompass 10 curated shows per year in the main gallery, and six shows in the art library, showcasing an estimated 525 local, regional and national artists. Dac partners with several local organizations throughout the exhibit schedule, especially for the annual members' exhibit that always focuses on environmental themes. Dac typically coordinates a community educational offering to coincide with exhibits, such as a lecture, artist demonstration, workshop or critique. The annual holiday winter solstice artisans market features over 85 artists' artwork and crafts. In addition to sales made during this end-of-year event, exhibits was supported by $10,000 in corporate sponsorships.
