Support the DCA

As we expand our role as a support system for the arts in Dakota County, we’re eager to partner with businesses looking to make an impact. From sponsoring events or scholarships, to supporting programming or exploring new, creative collaborations, there are countless ways for businesses to get involved and help strengthen our community through the arts.

Help us build a stronger, more vibrant arts community in Dakota County! Your support allows us to connect people through creativity, foster meaningful connections, and expand the transformative power of the arts across our community.


For over 60 years, the Dakota Center for the Arts has been a cornerstone of creativity and connection. From hosting the beloved Eagan Art Festival to supporting local artists and community initiatives, we’ve worked to make the arts accessible to all.

Now, as we pause the Eagan Art Festival in 2026 to focus on growth and capacity building, your support is more important than ever. Together, we can:

  • Expand our reach across Dakota County.

  • Create new opportunities for artists and community engagement.

  • Build a stronger foundation for the future of the arts.
