We have received ongoing funding from the Ohio Arts Council, the Miami Valley Regional Arts and Cultural District and Culture Works, and project funding from the Dayton, Iddings, and Tait Foundations. Corporate sponsors have found that funding a DVAC exhibition is good for them and good for the community. The board has also been creative in its approach to fund-raising. Three years ago, board member Ray Must suggested that DVAC have an art auction. Three years later, that auction is the most successful event of its kind.
Volunteers come and go, but the exec remains the heart of any organization.
Paula's vision, drive, and tireless commitment to DVAC have been a major impetus in our growth over the past several years. All of us who serve as trustees owe her our gratitude.
