Dallas Contemporary

Events and exhibitions: see schedule oevents and exhibitions: a non-collecting kunsthalle-style art space, Dallas Contemporary is a museum that has the privilege of presenting the vanguard of Contemporary artistic practice and artistic production through exhibitions, performances, and public programs, which are all equally part of our curatorial mission. During 2022, Dallas Contemporary engaged 12,000+ visitors through 7 major exhibitions. Our spring exhibition program featured solo presentations by joseph havel, lonnie holley, borna sammak and natalie wadlington. In the fall we welcomed exhibitions from american artist shepard fairey with a show called "backward forward," which tackles the social justice issues that continue to affect our nation, from gun violence to the pursuit of civil rights, as well as gabrielle goliath's work "chorus," a profoundly moving video installation that mourns the lives lost to femicide in the artist's native south africa.
