What is Advancement?

DAA brings our alliance of Delaware arts and civic leaders together to collaborate on ideas that move the arts and culture sector forward. Discussions allow participants to explore new approaches to industry challenges, learn new skills and connect with each other to improve their impact.

Our Advancement Focus Areas

Equity in the Arts

Members of every community in Delaware must have equitable access to arts and culture for the sector to remain strong and viable. We’re bringing leaders together to look at leadership, programming and community engagement through the lens of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Arts Education Research

National data show us that students receiving an education rich in the arts have higher GPAs, standardized test scores and graduation rates. We’re focusing on advancing statewide research to measure the impact of arts education on Delaware students’ success.

How We Support Advancement

We bring members of the arts sector together for important conversations about sector-wide issues in the arts and to strategize about advancing the arts & culture sector.
