The arts have a unique ability to bring people together—across disciplines, backgrounds, and lived experiences. They create space for connection, reflection, and joy, while also challenging us to see the world differently. These moments of creativity and exchange are essential to strong, healthy communities.

The Dubuque County Fine Arts Society exists to support the people who make this work possible. Through fiscal sponsorship, collaboration, and the production of community-based arts experiences, DCFAS helps artists and creative groups focus on what they do best: creating meaningful work that serves the public.

As a volunteer-led organization, DCFAS is guided by shared values of collaboration, access, and respect for creative labor. I am proud to serve alongside board members, artists, and partners who are committed to strengthening our region’s arts ecosystem and ensuring that opportunities to create and engage in the arts remain open to all.

I invite you to learn more about our work, explore opportunities to get involved, and help shape the future of arts and culture in our community.
