DADA Gallery Guide

The Dallas Art Dealers Association (DADA) will have its annual Spring Gallery Walk, panel discussions, and Scholarship show on Saturday, April 18th. From 2-8pm, art lovers (or the lovers of art lovers) will be able to view all exhibits for free. There are places all over the Metroplex, from Dallas to Irving and even into Arlington. For those of us in the Dallas area, you can knock out almost half of them if you start in Uptown area and then work your way over to the Design District (aka Dragon St.) If you’re not sure about having enough time, but know you at least want to check out some of them, I recommend going down to the Design District for the offered variety. Below is the complete listing of all the galleries and museums associated with the DADA Gallery Walk. Or download a .pdf version with a map of all the areas.

Over in North Dallas at the Norwood Flynn Gallery, the DADA will be presenting the Edith Baker Art Scholarship Winner Show, “a juried show featuring senior visual art students from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.” Proceeds benefit the artists and the Scholarship Fund. The reception is also free and is from 6-8pm.

For all the artists out there: The DADA has organized two panel discussions. One will look at How to Create A Great Artist’s Portfolio from 10:30-noon. The second will offer On-Site Appraisals by accredited appraisers from 1-2:30pm. Each panel is $15 and is open to all artists and the public. The Dallas Contemporary is hosting the discussion; they are located at 2801 Swiss Avenue. Tickets are available at the door, or you can reserve your tickets online.

The Spring Gallery Walk and panel discussions are sponsored by Modern Luxury Dallas, Banks Fine Art, Alexan and WRR 101.1 FM.
