Shining a brighter light on local talent: The Darien Foundation awards the Darien Arts Center a grant totaling up to $100,000, in addition to $21,000 funded by DAC donors, to install a state-of-the art lighting system for the DAC Weatherstone Studio
The Darien Arts Center (DAC), dedicated to artistic expression through dance, music, visual arts and theatre, is a vital community resource that draws a considerable number of talented performers, dancers and artists to its stages and studios each year.
Tucked behind the main entrance to Town Hall, the DAC Weatherstone Studio is the most highly utilized space at the arts center, housing classes, rehearsals, special performances, and fundraising events throughout the year. The studio welcomes 600 dance students annually—as well as numerous theatre, visual arts, and music students—who attend classes and also use the space to perform and show their art work.
