The DAC's Location and Facilities

The DAC is situated at the corner of East 2nd Ave. and 8th St., in a building that was once a car dealership. In 1997, the community came together to fund and renovate the 17,000-square-foot building, which now houses a gallery, theater, arts library, and studio space among other facilities. This transformation is a testament to the community's commitment to the arts.
