Join Dallas Hope Charities and Dallas Contemporary on the eve of Juneteenth for our 5th annual Pride Panel.

The night kicks off at 6:00 PM with an energetic community market and resource fair featuring a variety of local vendors and organizations.
At 7:00 PM, our featured panel discussion begins. Moderated by Naomi Green, the conversation will bring together local leaders and changemakers—including Olive Okoro—for a deep, insightful exploration of personal liberation, community resilience, and what it means to live authentically at the intersections of race and sexuality.
Stick around after the discussion for our brand-new After Hour segment from 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM, where local favorite DJ Diva Summer will keep the energy going with a curated set of mellow house tracks.
Come for the conversation, stay for the community. Admission is free and RSVPs are highly encouraged!

DC Micro Exhibitions: Claire Kennedy | Chance Al-Hajji
Friday, June 26, 2026
6:00PM - 9:00PM
161 Glass St. Dallas, TX
$15 GA | Free for Members
Join Dallas Contemporary to celebrate the opening of two micro exhibitions;
Freckles by Claire Kennedy
Horses in My Dreams, Like Waves, Like The Sea by Chance Al-Hajji
Freckles is intimate and sentimental, Kennedy’s interdisciplinary practice is not afraid to explore unconventional materials. Small works made out of paper pulp, paint mixed with sand and glitter, these tchotchke sized objects walk the line between painting and sculpture. Interested in collection and organization, Kennedy’s Charms and Protection Paintings are installed in small clusters around her studio. These objects are flexible, they allow Kennedy the room to intuitively install them as she sees fit, constructing shelving and pedestals for her in-studio curio cabinet.
Horses in My Dreams, Like Waves, Like The Sea occupies a space in a high chroma, celestial universe, Al-Hajji’s folkloric story telling blends with the fantastical. Created through a daily process of reflection, their anthropomorphized horses act as vessels for growth and change within themselves. Whether they are grazing in pastoral landscapes or wading through oceans and galaxies, the characters that Al-Hajji creates live in a world of cartoonish nostalgia.
ABOUT CLAIRE KENNEDY

DC Empty: This is A ____'s World
This is A _____'s World is a sculptural video performance collaboration between clown, clown, and clown. By stumbling through a failed stand-up routine and nonsensical inner monologue mumblings set to music, Andie Flores as clown will construct a follow-the-leader-type exploration of failure and hope, transforming the environment of DC EMPTY into a colorful, sharp-edged playroom.
-
ANDIE FLORES (b. 1990) (she/her) is a performance artist in Austin, Texas, who uses embarrassment as a medium for investigating hyper-visibility in a racialized body across barriers of border, history, and capital. Flores creates experimental live performances that pair identity and comedic culture moments with over-exaggerated, often grotesque shapes and sounds. She is fascinated by the urgent task of world-building at the edge of the limits of art-making.
Her work and performances have been shown at Austin Sketch Fest, Bushwig, Presa House Gallery, The Museum of Human Achievement, OUTsider Festival, Ivester Contemporary, MASS Gallery, Future Front Film Fest, Contrast Film Festival, Fusebox Festival, The Dallas Latino Cultural Center, Fallout Theater, Coldtowne Theater, Crashbox, Roskilde Festival, Warehouse9, DORF Gallery, and Cagematch Project.

DRAG ME TO DC ! presents a collection of multimedia drag performances inspired by the solo exhibition of Francisco Moreno, Historia Sintética. Award-winning, local drag artists Buck Wylde, Faux Q, and Riot Dee Binary will gather to celebrate the duality of identities, Pride Month, and the art of drag-- a tradition whose foundation was laid by Black and Latino performers in secret house parties, balls, and vaudeville acts. Drag is historically underrepresented within institutional spaces, despite the impact it has had on modern pop culture. Throughout the evolution of the practice, regional artists dare to bend the rules of presentation and critique the systems that confine them. Drag as an artistic practice is worthy of presentation and critical engagement within the context of art history.
DRAG ME TO DC ! was organized by Dallas Contemporary's Curatorial Assistant Ryan Semegran and hosted by Faux Q. Tips are encouraged!
Faux Q (he/him) is a Dallas-based drag king, actor, and musician whose practice is rooted in the alternative. Pulling inspiration from the macabre, hyper-online architypes, and alternative subcultures, Faux Q’s performances poke fun at toxic gender expectations and asses the state of the pop culture.
Buck Wylde (he/they) is an award-winning drag king based out of Dallas, TX. Since his start in 2011, Wylde has earned many accolades, including the title of Mr. C.E.B.A All American King and winning Best Drag King in the 2024 Dallas Observer Entertainment Awards. Buck Wylde founded Dallas's first all drag king brunch, Sausage Party and has recently starred in Revry TV's The King of Drag.
Riot Dee Binary (she/they) is a Denton based drag queen and dancer, the Denton Auntie Doll with it all. She has competed in the Rose Room's Rising Star Pageant, Miss LifeWalk 2025, and the Clash of Crowns.

Second ("Third") Sundays at DC: Freeform Collage Workshop
Second (“Third”) Sundays at DC: Freeform Collage Workshop
Sunday, April 19, 2026
11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
161 Glass St. Dallas
Free Admission
Celebrate Dallas Art Week at Dallas Contemporary with a special freeform collage workshop inspired by our newly opening exhibition, Francisco Moreno: Historia Sintética.
Unlike our traditional Second Sundays programs, this workshop is designed as a self-guided, come-and-go creative space. Visitors are invited to drop in anytime during museum hours to experiment with collage and image-making at their own pace. Materials will be provided, though guests are welcome to bring their own magazines, photographs, or paper materials to incorporate into their work.
The activity draws inspiration from Francisco Moreno’s layered visual language. In his practice, Moreno blends references to art history, religious iconography, and Mexican symbolism with science fiction, surreal imagery, and invented narratives. His work collides these visual traditions to question power, heritage, and the ways stories are constructed and remembered.
Participants are encouraged to take a similar approach in their collages—combining imagery, symbols, and fragments to create new visual narratives.
Drop in anytime between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
No prior experience is required, and all ages are welcome.

Dallas Contemporary's Spring 2026 Exhibition Opening Celebration
Dallas Contemporary's Spring 2026 Exhibition Opening Celebration
Friday, April 17, 2026
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
161 Glass St. Dallas
Free Admission
On Friday, 17 April from 7.00 - 9.00 PM, join us for the celebration of our spring exhibition Francisco Moreno: Historia Sintética, the Dallas, Texas-based multimedia artist’s first solo museum exhibition, plus, enjoy extended hours and complimentary drinks.
Francisco Moreno (b. 1986, Mexico City) is a Mexican-American artist whose work reimagines history, myth, and identity through a bold visual language that merges Old Master painting traditions with contemporary and fantastical influences. Raised between Mexico and the United States, Moreno explores the complexities of cultural hybridity and belonging. His practice often incorporates references to art history, religious iconography, and Mexican symbolism, which he collides with science fiction, surreal imagery, and invented narratives. The result is a layered body of work that questions the grand historical narratives that shape people and culture, while also examining the nature of our own personal, individual storytelling.
Francisco Moreno: Historia Sintética centers on three major projects that demonstrate Moreno’s desire to bring representational painting into the realms of sculpture, installation, and performance, and to create a theatrical experience of space and time.
