Dallas Contemporary

Love the curation of this place and it's FREE! Perfect place to impress a date on a budget or if you love art. The space is small compared to other museums (3 exhibits going on when I went), but that's a plus for me as everything has to be extra extra curated and it doesn't feel overwhelming for friends that can't do hours in a museum. It's also very covid safe since not many people are there at a time. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there were maybe 10 people including the staff. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable about the exhibits.Only drawback is the museum "shop" (really just a wall near the entrance) is also extra extra curated, so don't expect to come home with too much memorabilia.

"Gallery" might be a better category than "museum", though I'm not an expert.It's a small warehouse space, took me about 15 mins to wander thru. It's an eclectic curated space, definitely for those who like & understand Contemporary art. I might not be that person. But I can appreciate people expressing their own creativity & exploring their definition of art. During my visit, the exhibits were from UT art students (I don't know if that's the norm or special exhibit.) And kudos - their work has been selected for gallery/museum exhibition.

This little small non profit museum is always worth a visit .I've watched it grow from a very small space and limited budget to an impactful player in the Dallas modern art scene.Today's show is based on ceramics. While not my thing,the show is well curated and worth a look.If you haven't been by this converted industrial building in the shadow of Downtown Dallas,make a trip.

Came here for the Brian Fridge exhibition and as I've never been to the contemporary museum I was excited to go. The museum itself has plenty of parking and a few exhibits on display. The exhibit I visited for was a short film (6 mins) summarizing the solar eclipse we have coming up in a few weeks. After that, we toured the museum and saw two other exhibits that were very interesting but nice to see. The customer service was great and they offer complimentary wine. I look forward to returning to see future exhibitions as they come.

Discovering this hidden gem off the road was a delightful surprise! The gallery offers free admission and a captivating array of unique pieces, complemented by interactive exhibits that engage visitors throughout the relatively small but beautifully curated space. The super-friendly and helpful staff enhance the overall experience. A must-visit for art enthusiasts seeking an interactive and enriching adventure!

Came to this cool contemporary art museum on a quiet Saturday afternoon with family. Entrance is free though they do request a donation if you can. It's a cool industrial building with plenty of space and light, perfect for the rotating exhibits they feature. There were four artists showing their work in different parts of the building, all with very unique styles. Great spot to wile away an hour!

Pretty cool place to visit while in dallas! It's free admission and theres some free parking! It is pretty small and won't take like more than 30 minutes to get through it all but you are welcome to stay around and take pictures and hang out there. I went during this one exhibition with dancing pink and blue puff balls omg it was so cute and fun ! My bf and I had a blast trying to take pictures and not get smooshed at the same time. It was also pretty peaceful to watch and oh man they are super soft!! Definitely a place to go to for friends or a date! Theres lots of good places to eat around the area too and happy hours so maybe plan it near that time!

Dallas Contemporary is a phenomenal art museum. Extraordinary and thought provoking installations which changes every 3-4 months. Spotlighting national and international contemporary artists and their perspective art pieces. Wondrous discoveries to be made at this art space in the Design District.Presently, till August 18th, enthralled I am with Francesco Clemente: Watchtowers, Keys, Threads, Gates; mesmerized with Yelena Yemchuk: Mabel, Betty & Bette; haunted by Mario Sorrenti: Kate; and, bewitched by SELF SERVICE: Twenty-Five Years of Fashion, People and Ideas Reconsidered. CHEERS!

i'd recommend checking this place out -- the staff are kind & informed. i was most interested in the ceramics exhibit & the eduardo sarabia this must be the place exhibit -- some of the stuff was a bit underwhelming like the cardboard for example and the pickle. creative works of art on display overall. also free!!

Excellent exhibit space. I never feel like the piece of shown are crowded or bunched together. This visit I saw the ceramic exhibition that had some thing for everyone's taste. So much talent on display. Hopefully, next time more of the museum will be filled with heart.The young lady at the desk when I came in, was very helpful and friendly. We had a nice chat, and it added to my enjoyment for the day.I live near Philadelphia but always visit whenever I am in town. The Contemporary never disappoints.
