Culture Calendar

Welcome to the Culture Calendar, a resource to connect arts patrons with Dallas’ vibrant arts community! The Center strives to be a catalyst for the artistic growth of Dallas and to showcase creative excellence in every corner of the city. The Culture Calendar is the perfect tool to find venues, performances, and arts exhibitions in neighborhoods all across the city.

We work closely with the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture (OAC) to support and promote the work of organizations and venues it funds. Hosting the Culture Calendar is one way the Center lives out its commitment to strengthening and growing a thriving arts community.
