about us
The Denmark Arts Center (DAC) strives to be a hot bed for creativity in Maine’s western mountains region. We continually expand our educational programs in pottery, drama, music, and more to reach more of our residents and visitors ages 2 – 200.
Altruistic
Our priority is to develop diverse programs that support the education and cultural enrichment of our community with a respect for each other and humanity.
Ecological
Our approach to the arts is inclusive and strives for sustainability as we respect our historical roots and the environment we inhabit.
Experiential
We support local and world-renowned artists alike and are dedicated to creating uplifting experiences that enliven our audiences.
Our mission is to be a unifying force, a magical place for all ages, thriving in the historic 1883 Odd Fellows Hall. We inspire joy, growth, creativity, and community through the arts.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
The Denmark Arts Center celebrates the richness of our community by cultivating Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity as we seek to inspire the creativity that nurtures great art, artists, and audiences.The arts have a unique power to inspire, to bring people together, to help us all imagine different possible worlds, to illuminate and amplify diverse experiences, to catalyze transformation, and to allow us all to build empathy and connection. As stakeholders of cultural organizations, we are all leaders; this means we have a powerful responsibility to engage in the urgent, essential, and nuanced work to build a more equitable world for us all through building racial equity. We recognize that we have a special responsibility to do this work in ways that welcome others to join us, because fighting oppression and making change requires both leadership and broad participation.
We commit to engaging in this incredibly important work with humility, commitment, integrity, accountability, patience (for ourselves and others), courage, and joy, because we believe that a world which acknowledges past injustice and builds authentic and meaningful equity into organizations and systems will be a richer, more vibrant, more powerful, and more just world. We believe in working toward this world, and that by pursuing racial equity, we will create more just and inclusive organizations and communities, open our institutions to more people, right historical wrongs, deliver more impactful arts and cultural programming, and become stronger, more resilient and more vital organizations.
“A creative education has the power to catapult children into a lifetime of curiosity.”
