Welcome to the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA), where the commitment to the arts is evidenced by the many opportunities for citizens, visitors, artists and organizations to share in our city’s cultural expression through the arts. OCA provides support and creates partnerships with the many Dallas arts and cultural institutions that are found on our links page. We are guided by our mission, which is stated in the Cultural Policy as approved by the Dallas City Council and with review by an 18-member Cultural Affairs Commission advisory body. Together we all work to provide access to the diversity of art and culture that is Dallas!
