Welcome to Dallas Arts Week, the most chock-full, super-sized, go-Dallas-go week on this city’s cultural calendar. So, where to start? How about with a couple of disclaimers. Here’s my extended general disclaimer of Dallas, culture, and Dallas Arts Week from the April print edition.
Another disclaimer: I’ve listed museum events and other non-gallery things to try to catch the highlights of what’s going on this week. Take care to take notice of what is ticketed or requires a specific kind of Art Fair pass. Also, this list is by no means exhaustive. The Art Fair website will list individual panels and events.
And with that, on to it.
