Art isn’t just entertainment—it’s transformation.

Art isn’t just entertainment—it’s transformation. At NLAT, your support powers workshops for veterans and first responders, stages for youth to shine, and performances that spark dialogue and healing. Giving on North Texas Giving Day means Art Meets Art continues to inspire, Verse and Vibration keeps growing, and SEATd will debut in Spring 2026 as a groundbreaking community exhibit. Together, we’re not just funding programs—we’re shaping the future of art in Dallas.
