At the Durango Arts Center (DAC) you can enjoy the visual arts, theater, dance, live music, and…read moreeducation programs for children and adults. The building housing DAC, was once home to a car dealership and is right across the street from Steamworks Brewery (for other artisan pursuits). In 1997, the community collaborated to fund and renovate the 17,000-square-foot building, which is now home to a gallery, theater, arts library, studio space, and more. Unfortunately, I missed the Patsy Cline show, and limited my visit to the the downstairs art gallery and gift shop areas. I love finding these regional cooperative art centers, as there are always many interesting pieces, a diverse representation of local artists, reasonable prices, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, and no tourist-related schlock. And outside of the nearby Open Shutter (Contemporary Fine Art Photography), DAC was easily the best place in Durango to go for visual gallery pleasure and the best quality for the artistic dollar. I ended up buying a nice multi-coloured piece of glass that hangs from a handsome and hefty metal pedestal. I bought it for Gayle, but coveted it myself. The DAC staff person wrapped it carefully and successfully for the long journey home. And even though our combined household is cluttered enough, there's always a place in our home for quality art such as this.

Bounced payroll checks, discrimination, you want the whole story? Its public on Reddit Durango and…read moreon my Facebook page. What this company did to me as an employee is beyond sickening. They deserve to be put out of business permanently. As an employee ingot to hear all the trash talk about the dance moms from both Miriam and Therese. Sure keep giving them your money because thats quite literally all they care about. They treated Onyx like a charity case saying his mom didn't pay for anything and was supposed to provide social media support but claimed that it wasnt even happening. He was there nearly every single day of the week. They even tried to go as far as to say they're the reason they couldn't afford to pay me because he was a free ride student. I dont know how much of that was true but surely them constantly taking my reviews down speaks volumes.

Super unprofessional. Also have never seen a bartender fill a shot glass 3/4ths the way to the top when measuring a drink, then get defensive & call a patron the b word after being called out on it. Not sure if all the other bartenders are as entitled and rude as the blonde one whose face didn't move & reeked of cigarettes, but if I were you I'd avoid this place.
