Dublin Arts Council History
The council began in 1983 as an ad-hoc committee to bring the Columbus Symphony Orchestra to the dedication of Scioto Park. The success of this activity encouraged the committee to form Dublin Arts Council.

Since 1983, DAC has grown from an ad-hoc committee to a private nonprofit, impacting thousands of individuals each year through a variety of community arts programs, including an award-winning Art in Public Places program, an annual Art + Music Festival, and the Sundays at Scioto concert series. The Dublin Arts Council Gallery features rotating exhibitions by local, national and international artists, and the Dublin Arts Center offers classes for children and adults in the performing, visual and literary arts as well as school tours, summer ARTcamps, and ARTventures, a gallery education program for toddlers and preschool-age children. Dublin Arts Council is securing the future of the arts in Dublin through arts education programs in Dublin City Schools, as well as community arts and education grants.
