DCCA Representatives
Meet with First Lady Kasich at Ohio Arts Day
Local arts council representatives met with elected officials as part
of Ohio Arts Day, May 13th at the State Capital, to thank them for
their support of the arts and share Darke County Center for the Arts
story of encouraging cultural enrichment.
Darke County Center for the Arts representatives met with Karen Kasich,
First Lady of Ohio to express the importance of DCCA’s presence in our
community and thank her for her strong support and involvement in the
arts throughout the state.
Throughout the day, DCCA representatives also met with Senate President
Keith Faber and Senator Bill Beagle as well as State Representatives
Jim Buchy and Stephen Huffman to share DCCA’s achievements and thank
them for their strong support of DCCA’s mission and the arts in Darke
County.
Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA) is a community arts council
whose purpose is to promote all art forms and to expand opportunities
for cultural enrichment within the county. As the only Presenting
Arts organization in Darke County, the DCCA Board of Directors feels
the compelling responsibility for making the Arts accessible to all age
groups of all economic sectors in our county. DCCA is a
not-for-profit 501C3 organization that depends upon strong government
support to enable the fulfillment of its mission. Ticket prices
are kept low to make performances as affordable as possible.
Ticket revenues account for approximately 25% of the total income
necessary to present high quality performing artists and cover the
administrative expenses involved in carrying out the day-to-day
activities of a presenting arts organization. The remaining funds
come from strong government and community support. Thanks to
continued community and government support, DCCA has been able to
maintain a strong financial position, without accessing its reserves.
DCCA’s desire is to offer quality programming, encouraging cultural
enrichment in our community, and to do our part to make Darke County,
Ohio a great place to live. For more information contact the DCCA
office at (937)547-0908 or www.CenterForArts.net.
Darke County Center for the Arts presents and promotes performing and
fine arts, encouraging cultural enrichment. DCCA is also
committed to the preservation of Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall as an
important cultural center in the community.
