South Dallas Cultural Center


The South Dallas Cultural Center's mission is to provide excellent instruction and enrichment in the performing, literary, media and visual arts emphasizing the African contribution to world culture. Monthly jazz concerts, film screenings, poetry slams, bi-monthly exhibitions and an annual dance festival showcase some of the nation's most exciting contemporary African Diaspora artists. Weekly classes allow all who are interested in learning specific artistic skills to hone their creativity in a nurturing, professionally directed environment.
