Welcome
DPA is a research and development company working in places where culture and regeneration can help build communities; where creative businesses, artists and cultural producers can contribute to local and regional prosperity; and where there is growth and rapid change.

Public, private and community bodies, working together, can engage the passion and energy of culture and creativity to transform the communities and the places where we live and work.

To support our clients, we provide research, technical support, and project development. We offer lateral thinking, passion and advocacy.

Contact us if you think that we can help, or if you want to know more about how our projects worked for our clients and partners.
