We’re excited to announce that East Dallas Arts District is participating in North Texas Giving Day for the first time!

Early giving begins September 1.
North Texas Giving Day is September 18 from 6am to midnight.

Your support will help us bring more creativity and connection to our community through two exciting projects:

The launch of Little Local Art Galleries across East Dallas that give East Dallas artists a unique platform to showcase and sell their work right in the heart of the community. By featuring rotating, small-scale pieces, the galleries make collecting original art approachable and affordable while directly supporting local talent. Your donation helps provide artists with visibility, neighbors with opportunities to invest in creativity, and the entire community with a vibrant hub of artistic exchange. These galleries will transform everyday corners into spaces for inspiration and wonder, allowing neighbors and visitors to experience art up close, any time of day.

Our 2nd annual Art Walk EAST — taking place Saturday, November 8th from 11am to 6pm. This is a free all-day celebration of East Dallas artists, featuring open studios, pop-ups, performances, and creative activities across the district.
