Join us Thursday, June 5th, as we hear from visual artists at the Art House Dallas Visual Showcase. This annual event sets the stage for artists to share their work and tell their stories while elements of their story, like their art or photos of their process, is projected behind them. The audience has the opportunity to hear these compelling narratives for 5 minutes each in a TED Talk-style presentation format.
The featured visual artists from all backgrounds and mediums will share current projects, passions, and creative vision and give attendees opportunities for inspiration, encouragement, and discussion in a unique setting.
There will be an artist reception after the presentations. RSVP required. The evening includes a non-alcoholic beverage bar, and light hors d’oeuvres.
