Sterling Society
The Sterling Society supports the Dunedin Fine Art Center whose mission is to inspire, connect, educate and entertain in an effort to promote and support DFAC – our community treasure.
Join the Sterling Society
The Sterling Society supports the mission of the Dunedin Fine Art Center. It helps provide funding for programs as well as scholarships for young people. It also offers opportunities for people to build a deeper knowledge of art, interact with artists and travel to art museums and installations across our region, state and nation.
In addition, it offers a way to engage with others who are similarly interested in the arts. Joining not only helps you support the future of the arts in our community, but opens the door to new friendships with interesting, like-minded people.
