Back From Covid

2020 and parts of 2021 have been a true challenge due to Covid-19. We are happy to announce that DACA will be re-opening on July 5th. We will be running a limited amount of classes during this last part of the Summer. So, please check out the Programs page to see what's available. We look forward to seeing you soon!

What's In A Name?

For a variety of reasons, we are also in the process of changing the name of the center as part of our remodel. Through a series of community meetings, the community decided to change the name from Digital Arts and Culinary Academy (DACA) to East Oakland Arts Center (EOAC). The name change was recently approved by the Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission and is now waiting to be vetted by the City Council. The new name will better reflect East Oakland and its amazing community.
