The Office of Arts and Culture (OAC) is a division of the City Manager's office and fosters support, partnerships, and opportunities for Dallas citizens, visitors, artists, and arts and cultural organizations.
Get more info at dallasculture.org The City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture is the custodian of 19 city-owned cultural facilities, where a wide variety of arts and cultural programs are offered for citizens and visitors. These facilities consist of many of our community's most important cultural venues, and when combined, represent more than 1.5 million square feet of space dedicated to arts and cultural functions in our community. The OCA operates five of these facilities directly, referring to them as "cultural centers". The Cultural Centers are as follows: Bath House Cultural Center, Latino Cultural Center, Meyerson Symphony Center, South Dallas Cultural Center, and Oak Cliff Cultural Center. Additionally, the OCA directly manages the historic Majestic theater and other cultural facilities through private/public partnerships with nonprofit arts and cultural organizations with long-term management or operation agreements approved by City Council.

REMINDER! Cinco De Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day, which falls on September 16. It’s a day to commemorate the Battle of Puebla, Mexico’s victory over the French, in 1862 🇲🇽
Here are a few thoughtful ways to celebrate #cincodemayo!
The Latino Cultural Center hopes the community will treat May 5 as a day to learn about Mexican history and culture.

Video premiere of Creative Conversation: Art & Justice.
Creative Conversation is an annual panel first launched in 2013.
Each year, Creative Conversation brings together a diverse panel for a dialogue on relevant matters in Dallas’ arts and culture scene. This year’s Creative Conversation will share insights from the 2020 social issues that impacted our nation. There is no doubt social justice movements, the pandemic, and the economic downturn have had a disparate impact on communities of color. The arts are a powerful means of healing and a resource, at an individual and community level. Improving the quality of life means transforming the way in which we build a flourishing culture, neighborhood, and society. Proactive alternatives need to be considered through partnerships that offer creative solutions. This means partnering with groups that build projects or practices of work (design, real estate, academic) that marry arts and cultural activities. The panel will discuss what creative, proactive solutions look like for community building, healing, justice, and an overall better quality of life.
Moderated by Catherine Cuellar, Director of Communications, Marketing, and Outreach for the City of Dallas
Panelists:
-John Creuzot, Dallas County Criminal District Attorney
-Dr. Christine Drennon, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Trinity University
-Sydnee Freeman, Director of Real Estate Development for Designing Justice + Designing Spaces
-Carine Rice, Junior Players Program Director
-Byron Sanders, President and CEO of Big Thought

Tune in to experience art through a social justice lens created by dynamic young BIPOC artists and students.
10 SECONDS explores a world where deeply rooted biases and misperceptions easily take hold. Ray and Jimi are Washington, DC high school students who navigate their young adult worlds and what it means to be young Black men in the city. Ray tells the story of a day — and “ten seconds” inside that day — that he and Jimi will never forget, sharing not only their perspectives, but also the views of the police they encounter. Through audience engagement and interactive moments, the film provides opportunities for reflection and discussion.
