History - Dawson County Arts Council, Inc. (DCAC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1995 and incorporated in 1996.
The DCAC received from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation the 2001 Preservation Award for Excellence in Rehabilitation for its restoration of the 'Old Rock School,' a 5,000 square foot building that for many years was part of the Dawson County School system.
Local Dawson County residents built it of locally quarried rock as a part of the Dawsonville High School complex in the 1930's. In the 1940's the major part of the school was destroyed by fire. After a town meeting sponsored by the Dawson County Historical and Genealogical Society and months of community planning., the Dawson County Arts Council, Inc. presented to the Dawson County Board of Education its proposal to assume responsibility for the Old Rock School in October of 1999.
