Artpothecary serves as DAC’s physical connection to the community, providing a dedicated space for creativity, artistic expression, and local artist programming. It acts as a hub where community members can engage with the arts, participate in hands-on experiences, and connect with local artists through workshops, exhibitions, and collaborative projects. By fostering an inclusive and inspiring environment, Artpothecary strengthens DAC’s mission of empowering artists and transforming communities through creative engagement.
The Artpothecary is available for private parties for groups of 6+.

We have add-ons of drink packages, charcuterie boards, and special requests to make your party perfect.
Our space features a lounge and a full bar so that you can create, connect, and relax with us.

Other Things We Offer
Artist Rising Program
-
At DAC, we created Artist Rising, a youth program for children ages 9-14 that combines art creation with entrepreneurial skills. The program fills a gap in local summer offerings, providing hands-on experiences in art, ceramics, and upcycled projects, while teaching skills like marketing, branding, and sales.
Each week, participants work with a professional artist mentor, culminating in a public art show where they can showcase and sell their work, gaining confidence and real-world experience.
