About this Event

Happy Holidays from DGCAC!

Although this has been a tough year, it's never too late to spread holiday cheer. Join us for The Gift of Giving, our holiday giveaway. Starting Tuesday, December 8th, we will be giving out treats and make-and-take crafts to provide kids with their first gift of the holiday season. There will also be a photo-op for families to make a memory. This is our small way of wishing you all a happy holiday.

If you take a picture at the photo-op, be sure to tag us on Facebook (Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center) and/or Instagram (@downing-gross). We would love to share your posts!
