Mission:

The Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition is a grassroots organization of members representing Dallas-area arts and cultural organizations. Established in 2007 as a Texas nonprofit corporation, this active coalition mobilizes support for issues of importance to arts and cultural groups, arts patrons, and individual artists in the greater Dallas area.

​

Objectives:

• Provide a vehicle with broad representation from arts and cultural groups, individuals, public and private agencies, and other constituents with a common cause, to promote and support arts and cultural initiatives in our community

• Identify important advocacy issues, develop a strategy to address the issues, and mobilize the membership to implement the strategy

• Promote dialogue, understanding, and cooperation among the artists, patrons, and organizations in our community.

• Develop a partnership with the City of Dallas Arts and Culture Advisory Commission to work together on educating city leaders regarding the value and contributions of arts and culture to citizens.
