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.
David Powell Associates have been able to add real value to
our work through their knowledge and experience of strategic cultural policy
and planning, advocacy, project feasibility and project management.
