We’re here to champion creativity across Dorset – supporting, celebrating, and bringing together the people who make it such a vibrant, inspiring place to live. Through our annual Showcase, Arts & Crafts Grant Fund, and a host of opportunities for members, DACA connects artists, makers, and craft enthusiasts of every kind.
If you love making, learning, sharing ideas, or simply enjoying beautiful handmade work, you’re in exactly the right place.
If you enjoy being part of Dorset’s creative scene – whether you make, admire, or simply love discovering new work – becoming a DACA member opens up some wonderful opportunities.
Members enjoy free entry to Showcase, the chance to sell their work or apply for a craft stall, the annual Members’ Design Challenge, discounts from selected suppliers, and regular updates throughout the year.
And as DACA continues to grow, we’re always exploring new ways to offer even more to our members.
