Dakota Center for the Arts (DCA) was founded in 1961 as a Minnesota-based 501(c)3 organization. Throughout our 60+ year history, we have made it a priority to support local artists and host free art experiences for Dakota County residents and its surrounding communities. While the primary focus of the DCA over the last 20 years has been building the annual Eagan Art Festival, which will celebrate its 31st year on June 21-22, 2025, we are looking to grow our organization and expand our reach to include more programming to benefit artists and the public alike.
