What happened to the Arts District Alliance/Arts District Friends?
The Arts District Alliance/Friends was an organization that preceded Dallas Arts District. The Alliance/Friends were primarily membership based, and prior to the opening of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, stakeholders in the Dallas Arts District felt it was best to form a new organization that would perform broad marketing and planning functions as well. Dallas Arts District still continues the memberships previously offered by the Alliance/Friends, offering all the same benefits and much more. The Alliance/Friends organization is no longer in existence. For more information about Dallas Arts District membership, please visit our Become A Member page.
