Mission Statement
The Dahlonega Arts Council's (DAC) mission is to create and nurture an environment supportive of the arts through education to benefit the residents of Lumpkin County.

How You Can Help

The Arts Council is spearheading the ongoing restoration of what was known as the Olde Cannery Arts Center, which is located at 61 Enota St. Dahlonega, Georgia, next to the Old Jail.

Originally constructed by the WPC in the 1940's, the building was first used as a community cannery, then as a Thrift Store. In 2003 the Dahlonega Arts Council took responsibility for the structure.

There is yet more to be done to complete the transformation into the Olde Cannery Arts Center, a multi-purpose home of the arts, a community arts center, and event venue for private rental - contact us to learn how you can help, with a donation of cash, materials or labor!

All contributions are tax-deductible.

The DAC exists to foster and promote the arts in Dahlonega/Lumpkin County. We have been named as the official arts council by both local governments.
