Who
The Sammons Center for the Arts grows the Arts, in and for this community, by providing essential support uniquely focused on the needs of local performing artists, arts groups, audiences, and arts education to enrich the lives of people of all ages and backgrounds.
How
The Sammons Center for the Arts is known as an “Arts Incubator” but is more like a “Greenhouse” for small performing arts groups. Located in the Historic Turtle Creek Pump station, a Dallas Landmark, we serve as the home for 15 arts organizations representing every performing arts discipline. More than 90 additional arts organizations also regularly use the Center’s services and facilities for rehearsals, meetings, performances, auditions, and special events.
The Sammons Center for the Arts was developed to provide the community with resources and a facility for aspiring artists to hold rehearsals, workshops, and conferences in pursuit of their craft. If Dallas is to continue as a shaping force in the recognition and development of new talent, we must provide a permanent environment conducive to the achievement of this goal.
We Believe That
– The Arts should be accessible for all.
– The Arts ecosystem needs both small and large organizations.
– The Arts can help build community and provoke new thinking.
– The Arts are a core asset of any thriving economy.
