Arts Directory

Part of the mission of the Dearborn Community Arts Council is the belief that the arts are essential to the life of our community, and this Directory provides a means to connect the community to the arts. Compiled as a free service of the Dearborn Community Arts Council, the 2001-2002 Arts Directory has listings for a variety of  arts related organizations, businesses, funding sources, and service providers. The Arts Directory is one of the many ways the Dearborn Community Arts Council has worked for over 33 years to make the arts matter in our community!

Every effort has been made to make the Arts Directory as comprehensive a list of arts and cultural organizations and presenters as possible. Inclusion or exclusion of an organization is not to be interpreted as judgment by the DCAC as to the quality of its activities. Please contact us at sgreene@ci.dearborn.mi.us for information about listings in subsequent Directories.
