This morning, Art&Seek was honored to be a part of PAC -WE, the beginning. Anne will come in here later with her thoughts and experiences. The above video sums-up a lot of what I experienced today, but there is still a true lingering feeling of pride and gratitude towards Greg Metz and all the folks [...]
Architect Joshua Prince-Ramus met with the media and the public last week — and then answered our questions about why the Wyly Theatre’s interior has only one bright color, how “low-tech” the Wyly actually is and what happened to his relationship with his mentor, Rem Koolhaas.
Guest blogger Gail Sachson owns Ask Me About Art, offering lectures, tours and program planning. She is Vice-Chair of the Cultural Affairs Commission and a member of the Dallas Public Art Committee. The crowd of 45,000 who came to Spotlight Sunday in the Arts District should be home now writing thank you notes to the donors [...]

Why the tubes? But mostly, how did the two performance halls in the AT&T PAC turn out the different ways they did?
Have you visited the newly completed Dallas Arts District yet? Veletta Forsythe Lill, Executive Director of the Dallas Arts District and Mark Nerenhausen, President and CEO of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, stopped by to discuss all things Arts District on this recent episode of Think.
