FOR THE COMMUNITY… BY THE COMMUNITY
"DDAMF is one of my favorite events of the year! It's filled to the brim with exceptional artists from across DFW and provides space for established and emerging artists to work alongside each other. The event is inspiring young people and families to come out and build community through the arts. I'm grateful for the opportunity for our students to be a part of this event. Dallas is home to the largest arts district in the nation—two years running—and it shows in events like this how integrated the arts are to the fabric of the community. Dallas College serves students across Dallas county, and we’ve spent decades cultivating local talent and producing artists and arts leaders who have helped shape the city’s creative landscape. Our partnership with DDAMF connects our students directly to real-world, high-impact opportunities that deepen their learning, build their confidence, and invite the public to engage with their talent. It’s also a wonderful way to introduce future students to the wide range of degrees and certifications we offer across the arts and design industry.”

And for visitors—this is a chance to discover something special and maybe even take a piece of Dallas College home with you.”

Thank you for being an essential part of creating opportunities that inspire and empower talent to thrive!"
-CHRISTIAN CAVARRIA, President / Co-Founder, The Creatives Factory
"Always happy to be apart of a good Dallas event or opportunity to bring the community together, last year I had the opportunity to bring some more Art and vibrant colors into the grey Downtown Dallas landscape, and this year I was able to get together with a bunch of great and humble artists, that I feel represent for the art world in Dallas, in a big way to bring some new energy for DDAMF. I feel that Dallas will enjoy the curation of these artists and what we produce for the city. Thank you again for the opportunity. "

I’m so blessed to partner with DDAMF this year and help create those memorable encounters that we desire and delight in. Party On!”
