The Elizabeth Avery Draper Showcase Gallery features contemporary crafts. The Member's Gallery shows the works of regional artists. Representative of the quality to be found here was the recent exhibition, Return to Beauty . Paintings and prints were excluded from this wonderful exhibition of works in stone, metal and other materials. Artists have a fantastic resource here with workshops, exhibition opportunities, and inexpensive studio rental.
Schools also have a unique resource here.
DCCA works with individual schools to provide its comprehensive Contemporary Connections Program that offers teachers and students new ways to relate to art. One school per year is worked with on this program. Interested teachers should call for information. School Groups of all ages can enjoy a Guided Tour. DCCA works with educators to ensure that the tour is appropriate to the curriculum.
