What's Happening in Dallas, TX…

With a new year comes a brand new program at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) called FREE First Sundays: Access for All.

The gist of the new program is that on the first Sunday of every month starting in January and extending through December of 2026, the museum’s free general admission will be expanded to cover all ticketed exhibitions. Since 2013, the DMA has had free general admission with visitors encouraged to reserve tickets ahead of time. Most of the Museum’s exhibitions and galleries were included, but some programs and exhibitions required a separate admission ticket, generally costing $40.

In addition to banner printing services, museums also frequently request postcard and brochure printing.

Now, thanks to the Art Bridges Foundation, all exhibits will be free on first Sundays. The Foundation was created by Walmart heiress Alice Walton. Its three-year funding initiative, Access for All, has as its mission to increase access to America’s museums.

First Sundays will offer access to the following exhibitions beginning in January: “Afro-Atlantic Histories”, “Abraham Angel: Between Wonder and Seduction”, and “He Said/She Said: Contemporary Women Artists Interject”.

Visitors will have access to more than 5,000 years of the museum's permanent collection, containing works by Salvador Dali, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. Additionally, DMA will provide companion programs such as Open Studio art-making activities, to enhance its guests’ experiences. Other options will include scavenger hunts, family guides, and docent-led tours.
