Community is where the arts MEET.

Denmark Arts Center is a community platform for artists, musicians and educational programs that are diverse. These programs support the rich pool of musicians, dancers, visual artists and a variety of multi-disciplinary artists that the world has to offer. We do this with the intent to educate, entertain and create a sense of community.
