Mission

We believe the arts amplify what matters most in Duncanville. Our job is to turn up the volume.

Cultural Investment Strategy

A working research and development of arts demand in Duncanville.

The Duncanville Arts Foundation operates from a cultural investment strategy that works by staging community-driven, carefully planned programs around the city and measuring attendance, participation, and spending. Outcomes inform our focus.

Governance

How the Foundation is run.

The Foundation is led by three voting directors who make up the Board. The Board approves major decisions, sets policy, and looks after the money. The Founding Executive Director sits on the Board as a non-voting member and handles the day-to-day work, within the limits the Board has set. An Advisory Board gives advice but does not vote. Its members bring experience in arts management, research, community work, and cultural practice. Every formal Board decision is written down and filed as a numbered resolution.
