Dallas College Newsroom

South Dallas is not well known for its artistic endeavors, but Dallas College transformed the Cedar Valley Campus into a hub for creatives with a two-day Literature and Arts festival. The campus welcomed students, faculty and community members, April 9-10, for creative workshops, performances and local partnerships — all driven by a mission to bring artistic opportunity to an area long underserved in the arts.

April’s Arts Month shines a spotlight on the creative talent emerging from Dallas College. Thanks to partnerships with venues and galleries across the city, students in the Dallas College School of Creative Arts, Entertainment and Design gain real-world experience and professional exposure. Lolita Khugayeva, Stephen Lee and Amy Branch-Lambert share their stories.
