As we look back on a remarkable year of art, culture, and community, we’re grateful for one essential thing: the power of free access. Thanks to our supporters, our museum remains a place where everyone can experience art without barriers. From free admission and programs to workshops and parking, we’re committed to making art accessible to all. And now, we’re asking for your help to keep it that way.
We’re offering exclusive gifts at each donation level as a token of our appreciation. More below!
Focus of the Week: Support Free Admission
This week, we’re raising funds to maintain free admission for everyone, ensuring that art remains accessible to our entire community. Across the U.S., museum admission fees range from $10 to $30 per visit, but at Dallas Contemporary, over 20,000 visitors this year will have experienced art without any cost. We’re committed to providing a welcoming, barrier-free space for all to engage with contemporary art and creative experiences.
With your support, we can continue offering free access to thousands more.
