Dallas Arts District
Dallas Arts District
The Dallas Arts District was officially formed in 1984 and has been a thriving arts community ever since. Through the formation of the Arts District a formerly run-down district has been completely revamped and revitalized.
Currently, the Dallas Arts District is a 19-block neighborhood in the northeast part of Downtown Dallas. Already home to some of Dallas' most historical buildings, the Arts District welcomed the new facilities needed for the Dallas Museum of Art and the Dallas Symphony.
The Arts District is home to thirteen facilities and organizations including The Annette Strauss Artist Square, the Belo Mansion/Dallas Bar Association, Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Theater Center/Arts District Theater, Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, Nasher Sculpture Center, St. Paul United Methodist Church, Trammell Crow Center, and the Trammell and Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art.
Also, there are outdoor festivals and concerts held in this area all year round. No matter when you stop by, you are sure to see something fun going on in the Dallas Arts District.
One of the programs is called the Arts District Stroll, which is a guided walking tour showcasing the architecture, history, and activity of the Arts District. If you happen to be visiting on the first Saturday of every month, the Arts District Stroll will present visitors with a small slice of what this Arts District has to offer.
Come see the Arts District on your next visit to Dallas, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.
