We’re dedicated to uniting our local community through the arts.

Will you partner with us?

What your donation supports

100% of your donation will go to supporting the local arts. The Arts Council is run by volunteers, so our overhead is minimal. Your sponsorship will go toward the many aspects of supporting the local art community such as funding public art installations, supporting events, advertising, etc.

What do we do all year? (A lot! Here are some highlights…)

• Creating Art Outreach into De Soto, Present Offerings & Future Dreams - DAC’s “big picture” goal is to help unite our community through the Arts, through (1) bringing art into our community and (2) through supporting and connecting local artists. In the past we’ve mostly centered around the visual arts (and we still love our visual artists!). The future dream is to grow our support of musical and theater arts as well!

• Fall Fine Arts Show - We host a yearly fine arts show to showcase and promote local artists while providing a valuable cultural event to the community.

• Public Art Installations - We have an ongoing commitment to bringing more public art to De Soto. In the last few years we have installed multiple outdoor sculptures and murals around town.

• Local Artist Support and Connection - We LOVE our local artists! We host monthly meetings aimed at connecting and growing skills. We’ve also created a Local Artists Catalog that community members can use to shop local! If you’re interested in joining, click here.
