Bath House Cultural Center

A great piece of history in Dallas where the exhibitions are always changing. Today I saw the recent exhibition by Vargas- El Corazon. The back of the building faces White Rock lake. It's a great place to take a walk before or after visiting the Cultural Center.

Seems I often end up here on sunny spring and fall days. The combination of the lake combined with some art and a lazy stroll around the shore of White Rock lake is always life afirming

For the Historical value, this is a neat place. Sits on the lake with a the water lapping against the shore, the old building is a beauty, well kept for its age. There was a Native Plant show going on this day. They have tours of the local vegetation areas that have been planted around the house and in the fields that were free to the pubic. Really cool place, one thing I thought was odd is this is a bathhouse, yet the have signs that says absolutely not swimming allowed. Can come and visit but don't expect to get wet. Just thought that was a bit funny.

The Bath House is a perfect place to watch live performances and see local artists in DFW. I've enjoyed many one act plays during their one act play season and love how easily accessible the location is. A perfect hidden gem off of White Rock Lake.

We went to the El Corazon Exhibition curated by Jose Vargas for the opening reception with the artists. It's small, bright, welcoming and in the wonderful East Dallas location of White Rock Lake. If you haven't been to Bath House Cultural Center yet I definitely recommend going.

This is more than just a wonderful old delightful venue for various artists to exhibit their works or for small performances. Those exhibits and shows, while normally small, offer a closeness that allow the audience to really view and enjoy the subtle aspects of the artists' work. It is a great place to learn about the lake. This center is also a meeting place for friends and family to enjoy White Rock Lake. There is ample parking, generally outdoor portable toilets outside the Center's hours, a water fountain on the hill and lots benches and picnic tables.. Besides the large trees providing lots of places to hide from the sun, the view of the lake, a glimpse of Downtown Dallas, and fields full of North Texas Grasslands, this is a quiet place to collect your thoughts or read (be it book, newspaper or phone). My last trip was here as I passed by while circling the lake on foot. I needed a spot to sit and wring out my rain soaked socks. The view of the peaceful lake and dozens of resting ducks offered a calm that few places could have offered. No wonder the ducks were here. I stayed a bit longer to just take in the splendor of it all.

From the moment I arrived to the neighborhood and had the opportunity to visit the Bath House Cultural Center, Marty, the center manager was so kind, and welcoming I couldn't wait to return and enjoy the exhibits and theatre. I have not been disappointed in the talents, cultural enrichment, nor the commitment to embracing the arts and it's incredibly colorful world, the center provides. I'm sure you'll enjoy coming here as much as I do!

The Bath House Cultural Center is a theater, art gallery, and starting point for races at White Rock. I have enjoyed experiences with all three types of entertainment here. The folks who work for the BHCC are real animal lovers also. They fostered a momma cat who was dumped there with her kittens. Homes were found for all of the kittens, but they were having difficulty finding a home for the momma. She was living in their props room, until a very supportive patron came by one day and fell head over heels for this pastel calico. Pip is still a drama queen, and we are grateful to BHCC for our furry glamour puff.

I initially wanted to check out White Rock Lake, so I got two attractions in one! I realized that Dallas became incredibly hot and dry during the summer afternoon; my skin received ample sun time just from going to Dallas, so it felt nice to have a building (with air conditioning) that showed performance art and candid photography. I also learned a lot about White Rock Lake's history and its fascinating legend that gave me the chills--during the summer. I especially enjoyed the photography of the birds and the sunsets at the lake. Just one word of advice regarding the art exhibits: An adult audience would appreciate the content. Children wouldn't enjoy it as much, so I personally wouldn't bring younger kids. I can't speak of the other rotating exhibits, but the current exhibits had themes that a young adult audience or above would understand. As someone who loves cultural arts centers, I enjoyed learning more about the center and spending some time by the lake!

What a fantastic little stumbleupon....and date night kinda place. I pulled up expecting to spend an afternoon/sunset on White Rock Lake and ended up enjoying an art show event that was being held here, followed by an awesome sunset.The staff was very nice and inviting (which exceeded my expectations). It is not very big place, one wing is a dedicated museum that is split and one half is about the history of the lake and the other half is different art. The other wing is the theater, a place that I have not experienced yet, but I plan to.
