About The Dallas Contemporary
Dallas Contemporary is a non-collecting arts space in the heart of Dallas, focused on contemporary exhibitions and performances. Since its rename in 2007 (formerly ACT/D'Art), the venue has become a hub for innovative, time-based art and live programs. With free admission and a flexible, event-driven layout, Dallas Contemporary welcomes visitors to experience art in a space that prioritizes process, conversation, and community. The venue hosts signature events such as the Dallas Contemporary Gala and the Dallas Art Book Fair, alongside rotating exhibitions like Pam Evelyn: Salvaged Future. Located at 161 Glass Street, Dallas, TX 75207, this kunsthalle-style space offers a welcoming entry point to the city’s vibrant arts scene.
Facilities at Dallas Contemporary include free on-site parking adjacent to the building, making arrivals convenient for guests. Because the venue has no fixed seating, capacity and configuration are determined by each exhibition or performance, allowing for intimate installations as well as larger-scale presentations. The surrounding Design District and nearby hotels provide easy lodging and dining options for visitors. For guests planning overnight stays, consider nearby partners such as Hilton Anatole, Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Market Center, and The Westin Dallas Downtown for comfortable stays within a short drive or ride away. Whether you’re attending a gala, book fair, or a current installation, secure your seats or attendance through our easy, no-fuss process – we’ve got you covered.
