Featuring art for all senses, it’s home to award-winning museums, performing arts venues, and restaurants and bars around every corner. Unleash your imagination and adopt the maverick mindset in Dallas. Think outside the conference room and use theaters, museums, galleries, and sculpture gardens as exciting and stimulating meeting venues.
