We compile a weekly arts calendar that is distributed via email. This calendar includes arts related activities and events in our area for the following two weeks. If you would like to be added to our email list to receive the events calendar or to add your event, contact us at (575)523-6403 or email the information to infodaac@daarts.org

DAAC offers monthly arts networking luncheons to give individuals or groups the opportunity to connect with other members of the arts community. Luncheons are held the last Friday of the month and may be at the DAAC conference room in the Rio Grande Theatre or may be hosted by another organization at a venue of their choice. Lunches are catered and arrangements are made by the sponsoring organization at a minimal cost to attendees. If you would like to receive information about our arts luncheons or want to host one please call (575)523-6403 or email us at infodaac@daarts.org

As with any non-profit organization we depend upon volunteers and DAAC has many opportunities for individuals or groups to contribute to our programs – from gallery receptions to ushers at the Rio Grande Theatre to the Renaissance ArtsFaire – we can always use your help. Call (575)523-6403 or email us at infodaac@daarts.org for information or to sign up.
