As we look back on a remarkable year of art, collaboration, 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.
Take advantage of our ‘Give a Gift, Get a Gift’ offer this holiday season. When you donate at select levels, you’ll receive exclusive gifts in return—perfect for gifting or treating yourself! Whether it's a limited edition print or a set of ceramic plates, your donation not only supports Dallas Contemporary, but also gives you something special to unwrap this season.
This week, your donation helps us maintain free parking, so visitors can experience art without the added stress of expensive parking fees. 65% of museum visitors say parking influences their decision to attend. By supporting free parking, you help make art more accessible and inclusive. Studies show that free parking boosts attendance, and your donation ensures future visitors can enjoy art without the barrier of parking costs.
