This annual showcase of moving image artworks continues to spotlight innovative regional talent at various public parks across downtown Dallas, accompanied by a program of live music, culinary delights, and more. A one-of-a-kind experience, free and open to the public, Video Art Night is part of a long-term partnership between the two organizations to make art more accessible to a broader audience.
