Via the Office of the Mayor: “This year’s Creative Conversation will share the emerging insights from the 2018 Dallas Cultural Plan process and featuring thought leaders on issues such as artist housing, entrepreneurial support for the arts and corporate philanthropy to discuss how Dallas can reach its cultural potential.”
The event takes place on Monday, April 9 from 6-8 PM at Moody Performance Hall in the downtown Arts District. The event is free, but you need to register, which you can do here.
