One of spring's biggest events just announced this year's lineup, and the diverse exhibitors are cementing our city's place as a global art hub. Dallas Art Fair, which runs April 14-17 at Fashion Industry Gallery, will welcome art from nearly 100 galleries and dealers, more than a third of them new to the fair.

“Each year, the Dallas Art Fair has presented an increasingly diverse roster,” says Dallas Art Fair co-founder Chris Byrne in a release. “This continues in 2016 with the participation of galleries from Dubai, Belgium, and Colombia."

That's right, 17 countries will be represented at the fair, with 19 of the 39 new participants hailing from outside America.

If you're a collector who's itching to get an advance look at the works, the preview (available with the pricey-but-all-access Patron Pass, which will run you $500) is April 14 from 11 am to 2 pm. That evening, the sparkly preview gala begins at 6 pm for those with the Patron Pass; start time for regular ticketholders is 7.

For the duration of the fair, general admission is $25 a day, or $20 for students and seniors. If you're the thrifty sort, get a three-day pass for $50 ($40 for the students and seniors). CultureMap is bringing back Professionals Day, during which some lucky enthusiasts can get in for free that Friday. (More to come on that.)

That week has also once again been dubbed Dallas Art Week, wherein Dallas Art Museum, Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas Contemporary, and the Goss-Michael Foundation band together for a succession of programming designed to show the world how artsy we are.

National Medal of Honor Museum offers preview at downtown Dallas event

AT&T

The AT&T Discovery District hosted a mobile museum pop-up.

A high-profile museum opening in 2025 offered a preview in downtown Dallas: It's The National Medal of Honor Museum, slated to open in Arlington, at Nolan Ryan Expressway and AT&T Way in the Stadium district in spring 2025.

To give folks a preview of coming attractions, the institution dispatched a mobile museum to make a visit to the AT&T Discovery District on November 20, during lunchtime when foot traffic is brisk.

Imagine the sense of wonder and amazement that downtown Dallas denizens must have felt upon the sight of a double decker bus, parked in the District, equipped with video and historical information about the Medal of Honor award, stories of the recipients, and a rendering of how the museum in Arlington will look.

The goal of The National Medal of Honor Museum is to inspire Americans by honoring and preserving the history of the highest military decoration awarded for valor in combat.

They hope it will serve as a national landmark, illustrating the historical thread of sacrifice and patriotism that runs through all U.S. military service members, past and present.

Beyond its state-of-the-art, interactive experiences, a critical part of the Museum’s mission will be to use the stories of Medal of Honor recipients to inspire their fellow Americans.

It will incorporate the AT&T Virtual Recipient Theater, an augmented reality experience where visitors can interact with with Medal of Honor recipients. The space will be equipped with cutting-edge conversational AI technology complete with voice recognition to allow museum goers to have a conversation in a 3D format with medal of honor recipients living and past.

It will also have AT&T Branded Wi-Fi throughput the museum.
