Art Galleries and Collections

Dallas College is home to multiple spaces focusing on displaying art from local and nationally recognized artists as well as displaying work that is currently being created by art students and faculty.

Our galleries are dedicated to presenting innovative exhibitions and programs that reflect the scope and diversity of visual art. We aim to be a vital component of the academic and cultural life of Dallas College. Fundamental in this endeavor is to engage broad and diverse audiences, create a sense of community, and provide a place for contemplation, stimulation, and discussion of art and the questions that shape and inspire us as individuals, cultures, and communities.

Exhibitions and gallery events are free and open to the public. Learn about upcoming arts events at Dallas College or contact the gallery email for more information and inquiries on future exhibitions.
