OUR MISSION
The journey of the Dartmouth Cultural Center began as a community-based effort to save and preserve the rich heritage of one of the town’s architectural gems, the Old Southworth Library, for future generations.
Today, the venerable landmark is safe from neglect. It has been repurposed as an arts and cultural center serving the historic seacoast town of Dartmouth, Massachusetts and houses our young and growing organization.
The founders of the Dartmouth Cultural Center had a single objective, to save the Old Southworth Library from an uncertain future. Together, they, along with our Board of Directors, members, supporters, and sponsors, continue to maintain our mission.
Its an agenda that spotlights and encourages the arts, and the appreciation of the many local artists, and artisans who live and work in and around the town and beyond.
By preserving, maintaining, and enriching our community’s cultural life, we provide a wide array of cultural and educational activities, present the works of local artists, and partner and collaborate with the many local individuals and groups who also remain committed to the arts in the South Coast region.
Our success is due to our Board, Benefactors, and Supporters.
