OK. We get it. We're artists, writers, actors, dreamers. Our favorite thing to do,  besides create wonderful things, is to procrastinate. But here's incentive to stop, right now! The June 15, 2011, early bird registration deadline for the Dorchester Arts Collaborative's Open Studios is quickly approaching. Want to save money on registration? (Hey, with the gas prices, who doesn't want to save money?) Want to see your name on our materials? (Your friends will be really impressed.) Stop procrastinating. Register now. One less thing to worry about putting off, right?

Open Studios will take place Saturday and Sunday, October 22 and 23, 2011. Read the great coverage we got for last year's event in the Boston Globe. 

The Dorchester Arts Collaborative invites you to join us for the 4th Friday Potluck on Friday, March 25, from 7 to 10 p.m., at 11 Pearl Street, Dorchester, Mass.

The Dorchester Arts Collaborative has lots to celebrate on its second 4th Friday.  First, its SPRING!  Second, we will be showing off our new office and arts space, Studio D  (11 Pearl Street) and our current show featuring Chuck Sullivan and VIncent Crotty.  Third, we will be launching our new, fully functional and comprehensive web site for a sneak peek, and we will be asking everyone to sample a variety of chili and vote on their favorite to help us decide which  recipe to enter in the Dorchester Chilli Cook-off.

There is a BONUS for anyone who buys a painting, becomes a member or patron of DAC, or registers for Open Studios 2011 using our online registration forms (a laptop will be available): You will get the recipes for all the chili you will be tasting!

Come see the Dorchester Arts Collaborative's new gallery space, Studio D at Pearl Street, located at 11 Pearl Street, Dorchester, Mass.

Join us on Saturday, March 5, 2011, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the opening reception for our inaugural show, featuring the work of Chuck Sullivan and Vincent Crotty.
