Durham Association for Downtown Arts, Inc. (DADA)

DADA Mission

The Durham Association for Downtown Arts, Inc. (DADA) is a non-profit organization committed to the development, presentation and fiscal sponsorship of original art and performance in the Durham community. DADA strives to support local artists working in a diversity of artistic media. Emphasizing community, DADA helps local residents gain access to these artists by providing free or low-cost venue admission. Beyond sponsoring its own projects, DADA is an artistic home and networking base for a variety of self-producing local artists. To serve Durham's growing artist community, DADA plans to someday open a new multi-form arts space in the downtown area.
