The original idea for an art center in Dunedin dates back to more than 40 years ago in 1969. Recognizing the importance of the arts to everyday life, five women from the Junior Service League of Clearwater-Dunedin sought to create a space within the community where the arts could be perpetuated and celebrated. These women resolved to work toward the creation of a cultural climate and the eventual building of a fine arts and cultural center. Both the League and the city agreed that an art center would be a beneficial heritage for the city of Dunedin and set forth the motions to put the plan in action. Five years later in 1974, the vision and commitment of the City of Dunedin, its citizens and the members of the League, came to fruition when ground was broken on the Dunedin Fine Art Center.
When the doors to the first 2000 square foot facility were opened in February of 1975, a commitment to excellence and a welcoming spirit were the guiding lights that you can still see in DFAC’s nearly 50,000 sq. ft of facilities.
Today, the Dunedin Fine Art Center is built on strong foundations within the community. Through donations, endowment and memberships, the center is able to exist and expand to serve the community and meet the needs of our society.
The mission at the Dunedin Fine Art Center is to enrich lives through educational experiences in the visual arts.
The vision is to make the Dunedin Fine Art Center a leading visual art center providing unparalleled educational, cultural & creative experiences.
The Dunedin Fine Art Center offers more than 1000 class sessions and workshops each year for both children and adults. Our staff is comprised of more than 70 professional artists who are among the most respected in the community and teach a variety of artistic mediums.
At the Dunedin Fine Art Center, we present exciting and challenging exhibits in an accessible way. Be sure to view our current exhibits, as well as past exhibits and those to come.

As Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist.” The Dunedin Fine Art Center emphasizes the importance of art education for children. This is why we are proud to have the Kid’s Corner, which includes the David L. Mason Children’s Museum, youth classes, summer camps, student tours, a teen art club and more.

Most of our art is the result of the fine work of local artists. In our store you will be able to buy unique gifts and decoration for you to cherish forever. In the Gallery Shop, our selection includes jewelry, paintings, pastels, glass, ceramics, wood, fiber artwork and much more.
