WHAT DAC OFFERS
At the Durango Arts Center, you can enjoy the visual arts, theater, dance, live music, education programs for children and adults, and many other activities for all ages.
Located in downtown Durango, CO, the DAC has become the hub for cultural innovation in southwest Colorado. The building housing DAC, at the corner of E. 2nd Ave. and 8th St., was once home to a car dealership. In 1997, the community collaborated to fund and renovate the 17,000-square-foot building, now home to a gallery, theater, arts library, studio space and more. Come play and explore!
