The free public event turned the Dallas Public Library, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, Dallas City Hall and other buildings into art installations with the theme “FuturePresentPast.”Arts Access is an arts journalism collaboration powered by The Dallas Morning News and KERA.

Breaking into the arts world isn’t easy. How do you build a brand? What does it take to make money off your work?

The goal is to connect artists with the resources and information they need to thrive.
