From the Executive DirectorDear Friends,

Welcome to the Dorchester Center for the Arts!

For nearly five decades now, DCA has been leading the way as the major arts provider for Dorchester County, advancing opportunities for all age groups and supporting artists young, old and in-between. In 2020, DCA will celebrate its 50th Anniversary. What an incredible

milestone! Multiple generations have been impacted by the arts at DCA, and thousands have come through the doors on the quest to discover their inner artist. In the past two years alone, over 25,000 people have experienced the arts at DCA.

The DCA art community inspires creativity and empowers artists at all levels. From art classes and music programs to interest groups and gallery exhibits, there is a broad array of programs and services to nourish the mind, body and spirit. I hope you will find offerings within these pages for enjoyment and enrichment during these winter months.

To all our members, friends, partners and supporters – past, present and future – thank you for being a part of the arts at DCA. Your participation is a vital part of the process of creating community through the arts. As our dedication to empowering and inspiring others to live creative and vibrant lives continues, so does our mantra: Art for All!

See you at DCA,Barb Seese
