Building Bridges Between Dallas and the International Art World will be a discussion that will highlight the value of cultural exchange. Seasoned art professionals will share their experience of curating, collecting, and representing artists both locally and globally. They will explore ideas of cross-cultural collecting and exhibition making, and examine the impact of economic relations on artistic production and distribution.

They will also discuss the roles of institutions in international dialogue, the repercussions of artistic patronage on a regional level, and recent developments in connection with artists' residencies, biennials and festivals. In conclusion, the panelists will analyze Dallas' international art-world status and potential.

Participants will include Erin Cluley, owner of Erin Cluley Gallery; Justine Ludwig, Director of Exhibition and Senior Curator at Dallas Contemporary; Peggy Leboeuf, Senior Director Galerie Perrotin in Paris, New York and Hong Kong; and Anna-Sophia Van Zweden, Director of SOLUNA: International Festival for Arts and Music Festival.
