About Us

Darlington for Culture (DfC) was set up late in 2010 to help protect and promote arts and culture in the town. Its members include representatives of arts and community groups.

DfC, which is a Community Benefit Society, a type of co-operative, is devastated by the decision by Darlington Council to close the town's Arts Centre in July. Whilst saving the Arts Centre was a priority DfC are also planning for how they can best support arts and culture in Darlington now this invaluable resource has closed down.
