Durham Arts Council School

Durham Arts Council School is a vibrant community education program for visual and performing arts which provides over 700 courses each year to more than 3,400 adults, teens and children in drawing and painting, dance, clay, sculpture, theatre, photography, digital arts, writing, fiber arts and more. During the summer, the school offers art camps for 5-12 year-old children and intensive study opportunities for teens. Throughout the year, DAC School also offers special courses for teens and children and has a wide array of toddler and preschool classes.

DAC School provides opportunities for students outside the classroom through open studio use and in clay, digital arts and photography. As an integral part of their education, students have regular opportunities to perform and exhibit their work.

DAC School faculty members are practicing artists who bring professionalism and expertise to their teaching. Most DAC School classes take place in the in the Durham Arts Council Building in our professionally equipped studios. Some courses take place in offsite studio spaces.

In September 1999 DAC School opened our new DAC Clay Studio at 546 Foster Street. The new Studio is only a few blocks from the DAC Building and offers us the opportunity to expand our offerings and to add glass and mosaic classes in the old clay and sculpture studio in the DAC Building.

We offer four sessions per year. In general, Fall Classes are announced in late August, Winter Classes are announced in late November, Spring Classes are announced in late February and Summer Classes are announced in May. We also offer the popular Summer Arts summer camp for children. Summer Arts camps and classes are announced with the Spring Catalog in February.
