As a nonprofit cultural institution, your support provides the public access to the arts—ensuring everyone has the opportunity to see, study, and experience creativity in its many forms. Rising costs and lack of available funding have made it increasingly difficult to keep offering the free and low-cost arts programs that so many of you have come to rely on. Our programming demand continues to grow, and with your help as we look to the future, we are focused on deepening our efforts in equity, inclusion, and community engagement. Our belief remains steadfast: everyone deserves to be part of our creative family.Where your money goes: 100% of the funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward our organization and the programming it provides to the community. Because we are using Zeffy, the DCA receives 100% of your donation, no credit card or platform fees are taken out of your gift.
