The Bath House Cultural Center is currently the stage for two compelling art exhibitions that give visitors a chance to reflect on the nature of memory and our planet. "Seat of Honor: An Exhibition About Chairs" pays tribute to the late Dallas artist Terri Stone and explores the chair as a canvas for artistic exploration. Curated by Rita Barnard, the exhibition features diverse works by DFW visual artists and runs through September 27. More on this can be found at the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.
Simultaneously, the center showcases "Earth Moves: Original Prints" by local artist Terri Thoman. Four decades of Thoman's etchings, monotypes, and woodcuts examine the majestic and tumultuous aspects of our environment. It's a delicate balance of awe and a stark reminder of nature's caprice, intended for an audience looking for depth in gestural representations. Located at 521 E. Lawther Dr., the Bath House serves as a hub for art aficionados in the Dallas area.
Adding to Dallas' diverse cultural offerings, the Latino Cultural Center will present Hecho en Dallas, its annual juried exhibition, starting September 20. Running through October 24, the exhibit features a collection of works by professional artists from across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The showcased pieces, ranging from paintings and sculptures to digital works, touch upon the vibrant tapestry of local arts and provide a platform for both emerging and established artistic voices.
As Dallas prepares for the Day of the Dead, the Latino Cultural Center is making a call for entries for its annual Día de los Muertos exhibition. While keeping true to the cultural roots, the exhibition is open to altars that both follow traditional forms or push the envelope with modern interpretations. Submissions are due by October 19, encouraging a wide array of contributors to partake in this important cultural tradition.
Seeking to mold future innovators, the South Dallas Cultural Center's Diaspora Success Academy program instructs local youth in the revolutionary possibilities of artificial intelligence. The program, which runs through October 18, 2025, combines the zeal of innovation with a sense of community, aiming to show how AI can change the world—one young mind at a time. Those interested can learn more about inspiring the next generation of change-makers at the Office of Arts and Culture's program details page.
