Be a part of the vision at the annual DAFA State of the Arts Forum. Together, we are innovating the future of our creative landscape and honoring the heritage that brought us here. Your voice shapes what comes next.
Join us for the annual DAFA State of the Arts Forum—a free, open-access event where the community takes the lead. Whether you are a professional artist, a dedicated art lover, or a curious neighbor, your perspective is the most important tool we have.
This is more than a meeting; it’s a creative town hall. We want to hear from you. What do you want to see in our local art scene? What heritage should we protect, and what innovations should we chase? Come prepared to ask questions, provide feedback, and propose the next big ideas for DAFA to develop.
Bonus: We believe great ideas start with great fuel. We’ll be providing free food and drinks. PS: Come with an empty stomach and an open mind!
