Welcome to Dorchester Arts Collaborative New Web Site!

We are excited about the scope of the site, thrilled by its new functionality. Look around and see what’s new!

Under the About Us tab, you will find an events calendar (it details the events that are highlighted in the calendar in the right margin of this page); information about this year’s Open Studios; an online OS registration form; information about our monthly breakfasts; and very important information about our new membership structure including online membership registration.

Member Resources

The Resources tab will grow as we add more links to local galleries and businesses, and information under the Studio D tab will guide you through past and current exhibitions as well as provide information on how to submit a proposal for a show.

The Portfolios tab is a full-membership site and provides artist members with an opportunity to upload their work--visual, written, or a combination--in a professional format suitable for viewing by galleries, theaters, journals and colleagues.

Constant Updates

Finally, clicking on the Blog tab will bring you the latest news feeds from DAC including photos and reviews of events and shows around town. And you’ll want to join our mailing list if you’d like to receive information not just from DAC, but from other arts organizations who send information to us for distribution.

You’ll notice the banner at the top of the page counting down the number of days to the Open Studios registration deadline, as well as links to several social media sites.

Let us know what you think of the new site and send along photos, event announcements and questions.

Feedback

Over the next several months, board members will be visiting neighborhood association and civic meetings to connect with you and your neighbors around the arts. Our mission, to facilitate the arts in Dorchester, means that we want to make sure that all Dorchester artists know that we are here as a resource, that all neighborhoods have an opportunity to open venues during Open Studios, and that all genres of work including music, dance, theater, spoken word, flux, and visual arts feel supported by the organization.
