Join us for a panel discussion covering the second annual Dallas Contemporary North Texas Graduate Student Program. The annual initiative, launched in 2024, invites a cohort of North Texas Master of Fine Arts students in their final year of graduate work to exhibit at Dallas Contemporary after being selected by a visiting national curator. Initiated by Executive Director Lucia Simek, the program aims to advance the early careers of emerging artists schooled in the region by fostering healthy interactions and connections between students and renowned curators.
