Happy New Year Everyone!  This is just a quick post to let you all know that the DAC blog is back online, and that we are looking forward to hearing from you, about you, and all about your work in the arts.  

Our first update is that due to some construction delays, the "soft opening" for the Erick Jean Center for the Arts has been moved to Saturday, February 16th from noon to 4.  Classes for kids will be starting on Monday the 18th and running every day through the vacation week.  A schedule will be published on our site (www.dac-online.org) in early January as well as on MyDorchester.org

In the meantime–if you have a class you'd like to teach, let us know!  Write to us at mailto:info@daconline.org or give us a call at 617 922-1396. And keep an eye on this spot for registration information for our first workshop, Social Media for Artists,  taking place on March 16th.  Four hours, including lunch for $25.

The Dorchester Arts Collaborative is committed to reaching out to the arts community and to developing a connection that will benefit us all. This new blog is one of the new ways we will be doing that. Please become a frequent visitor.

Artists, we want to know about you. Tell us about what you are working on right now. Tell us where you are exhibiting your work. Tell us about your challenges as an artist and how you overcome them. Anything. We’re listening.

Community members, we want to hear from you about cool arts events coming up in Dorchester.
