ABOUT DCLA
Bringing Communities, History, And Place Together.
DCLA partners with cities, museums, historical societies, preservation organizations, and community groups to transform local history into engaging public experiences through research, original artwork, design, fabrication, and installation.
WHAT WE DO
Every project begins with understanding the history that already exists.

Our work includes:
• Historical Research
• Heritage Storytelling
• Original Artwork
• Interpretive Design
• Public Art
• Exhibitions
• Fabrication
• Installation
WHO WE WORK WITH
Whether preserving an industrial district, celebrating a downtown, documenting a waterfront, honoring military service, or interpreting a city’s cultural history, every project is built specifically for the community it represents.
We regularly work with:
• Cities & Municipalities
• Historical Societies
• Museums
• Preservation Organizations
• Downtown Associations
• Libraries
• Visitor Centers
• Veterans Organizations
• Community Foundations
• Educational Institutions
