About us

The Artists' Society of Dearborn (ASD) was established by a small group of artists in 1949 with Pansy Taylor elected as the first president (an annual award is named after her).  During its early evolution, it was also successively known with its present name, as the Art Institute of Dearborn, and as the Dearborn Arts and Crafts.  In 1999, in honor of its 50th anniversary, the group restored the original name.  Throughout its history, the Society has maintained its primary goal to enrich the cultural life of the community by stimulating interest in fine arts and crafts.

We are looking to expand by getting new members and also to get the Society better known and to that end we can now be found on the web at www.artsocdbn.com.  Why not take a few minutes to see what we are all about.
