Denison Performing Arts Mission Denison Performing Arts, Inc. was formed in 1979 as a non-profit organization for the purpose of providing stimulation and enrichment of the natural artistic inclinations of the young people in our community. Each year more than 4,500 students in Denison schools are exposed to quality presentations in music, drama, dance, and the visual arts. Funding for the programs is received from grants, businesses, and individuals throughout the area.

Organizational History 1979

Denison, Texas A group interested in the arts and in developing, stimulating and encouraging interest in the education of high artistic standards, met July 11, 1979, at Grayson County College. Those present were: Dr. David Petrash of GCC, Carolyn McKinzie, Roger Hanson, Lissette Romero, June Willis, Ruth Hardy and Lynne McKinley. The general feeling was that more music, drama, and visual arts could and should be coordinated among the schools. Many possibilities for programming were discussed. Carolyn McKinzie, Lynne McKinley, Lissette Romero and Susie Munson founded D.P.A., Inc., that year to excite interest in all the arts among its membership and citizens and to promote arts education and appreciation throughout the Denison community. Initially funded by the W.B. Munson Foundation, D.P.A places special emphasis on the encouragement of fine arts for area youth.
