Behind every piece of art is a story waiting to be told. In this series, the Downriver Council for the Arts introduces you to the artists who bring creativity to life in Southeast Michigan. Through candid conversations, you’ll learn what inspires them, how they shape their ideas, and the role art plays in their lives and in our community. ABOUT THE DOWNRIVER COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS Founded in 1978, the Downriver Council for the Arts (DCA) is a regional non-profit 501(c)(3) arts and cultural organization that proudly serves nearly 400,000 residents in 21 Downriver communities. We operate out of the James R. DeSana Center for Arts and Culture (The Arts Center), a three-story, 20,000 SF historic building located in downtown Wyandotte. The DCA's mission is to enrich the quality of life in the Downriver communities by advocating and promoting the arts and providing opportunities for involvement and participation in arts and cultural activities. We actively support local artists and performers through artistic outreach programs and special promotional opportunities. The DCA also creates regional partnerships with other cultural organizations, schools and service clubs to promote artistic, cultural and special events throughout Southeast Michigan. We hold these activities in our Arts Center and by operating in the various cities we serve. More information and activities can be found by viewing the DCA online. We have quite active social channels, so please visit those as well.
