The DCCA, founded in 1979, presents between 20 - 30 exhibitions annually of regionally, nationally and internationally recognized artists that explore topical issues in contemporary art and society.

This season enjoy our First Friday of the month Art on the Town celebrations where you can tour DCCA's 7 galleries and the individual studios of more than 25 artists. Kids will enjoy FREE Family Programs, and Youth Classes for all ages.  Adults will find a number of featured Seminars,  and Lectures to feed the creative mind. The DCCA also offers travel opportunities locally and abroad.  

The DCCA presents a variety of educational and outreach programs, gallery tours and programs that integrate contemporary arts into the public school curriculum, and artists' residencies that feature collaboration with underserved community groups.   The DCCA is housed in a renovated industrial building in the heart of the rejuvenated Wilmington Riverfront.  Our space is the perfect backdrop for your special event.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us!
