Our Story
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 OAC 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 OAC 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.

William F. Joseph (Untitled) The Great Seal 1965
William Joseph (1926-2003) was described as primarily an “abstract sculptor” who enjoyed working in bronze; he was also a painter and employed wood, steel, and silver in his sculptures.196 Joseph’s teacher was Vance Kirkland, whose studio came to be the Kirkland Museum. Joseph’s work included more than 60 commissions, with 277 documented works in eight states. Such commissions included Littleton’s City Center Fountain, the Beaumont Fountain originally at 18th and Broadway (now at 19th and Welton Streets) in Denver, and his Columbus Monument at the Civic Center. A perpetual teacher, Joseph taught at the Denver Art Museum from 1948 to 1951, at the University of Denver from 1950 to 1952, and at Loretto Heights College from 1957 to 1988, ultimately becoming head of the arts department.197 Since his passing in 2003, Joseph’s work has been rediscovered as the subject of several exhibitions.
