Dubuque County Fine Arts Society

With a team of like-minded individuals, Ruth and Russ Nash founded Fine Arts Society in 1976 to enrich the cultural landscape of Dubuque. With Russ and Ruth’s passing in 2000 and 2002, respectively, board members and volunteers committed themselves to maintaining the core programs of the organization and guiding DCFAS toward a more sustainable future.

Dubuque County Fine Arts Society (DCFAS) is a not-for-profit arts organization focused on providing the Dubuque community with low or no cost arts experiences; offering working artists opportunities to sell, create, exhibit, or perform for wider audiences. Our efforts add to the culture and quality of life in the Dubuque area and create economic opportunity through the arts.
