Community is where the arts MEET.
Denmark Arts Center is a community platform for artists, musicians and educational programs that are diverse. These programs support the rich pool of musicians, dancers, visual artists and a variety of multi-disciplinary artists that the world has to offer. We do this with the intent to educate, entertain and create a sense of community.
Performances
DAC aims to promote, engage, and inspire with a variety of Live Music, Maine Authors, Theater pieces, and dance. DAC has a performance calendar unlike any other Arts Center in the region.
KIDS CAMPS
'“A creative education has the power to catapult children into a lifetime of curiosity” DAC strives to inspire that creativity through our camps.
Gallery
DAC creates a place for experienced and emerging visual artists to showcase their work where community is welcome.
Dam Jam Revival

A collective of community VOLUNTEERS
You can make a difference in your community—right here, right now—by volunteering for Denmark Arts Center. Our season starts in June and runs through early December and we depend on dozens of volunteers to support the creative programs we develop and run in the community.
Supporting arts education together
Denmark Arts Center is dedicated to furthering educational opportunities in the arts for community members of all ages. We host classes and workshops in collaboration with local and visiting teaching artists. Denmark Arts Center also provides Arts & Music in Schools by working with artists and the local school districts to provide additional quality and diverse educational experiences in the arts and humanities for K-12 students.
