D G A A stands for Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association.

DGAA was established in 1985 and is supported by Dumfries and Galloway Council and the Scottish Arts Council.

We are an independent arts development agency governed by a Board of Directors and with professional staff serving South West Scotland, a resource for information on regional arts and artists, organisations and contacts and on fund-sourcing for regional arts activities and a pro-active partner for Arts in the Community.
