The Delta Arts Alliance serves as a bridge to connect diverse cultures through their contributions to the arts, to create a common vision, and to develop strategies for making the arts a more prominent part of daily life in the Mississippi Delta.

Our Community

Delta Arts Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located at the Historic Ellis Theatre in downtown Cleveland, MS which includes the old Walt’s Service Station as our Arts Annex for Dance and Performing Arts. The Ellis Theatre includes DAA offices, gallery exhibitions, Permanent Crosstie Collection, Povall-Sanders Fine Arts Balcony and the Juliet Kossman Whistlestop Stage.

Directly across from the Ellis Theatre, at the Commerce Building, DAA operates roughly 9,000 square feet of creative space for community programs that include art education & workshops, filmmaking, music recording & podcasts, lecture space and the future home of DAA Artist-in-Residence studios as we develop Phase II of our campus expansion.
