Arts Aficionados Membership
At TACA we are committed to a singular idea – that the arts are the most inclusive, most engaging way to make an impact on the community. The TACA Arts Aficionados membership program provides a community of like-minded arts supporters and programs for gifts of any size.
When you give to TACA and the local Dallas arts community, you give life and critical resources to:
- Cornerstone arts institutions and new and emerging organizations
- Working artists and professionals in dance, theater, spoken word, visual arts, music, and other genres
- Creativity, community, arts education, and diversity
