Help us to keep developing exciting new projects across our programme

Our Friends and Patrons are vital advocates for DCA who contribute directly to the development of our programme, from the commissioning of ambitious new exhibitions to supporting new work by Scottish and international artists at all stages of their careers.

We are determined to increase the reach and impact of our work with people and communities in Dundee, the wider region and across Scotland. Our Friends and Patrons help make this happen and are crucial to the ongoing success of DCA.

Becoming a Patron will bring you into the heart of the organisation, with personal invites to a private programme of receptions and events, and a close relationship with our staff and trustees.

We offer several Patron options so that you can build a tailored relationship with DCA at a level of support that suits you. Join us as a Patron today.
