History of TACA
Supporting The Arts Since 1967
For over 50 years, TACA has been dedicated to making the Dallas arts community one of the strongest in the nation. Originally founded in 1967 as an annual charity event, we have become a valued arts funding and service organization, providing an array of grant funds and innovative service programs.
We invest in over 60 arts organizations of all shapes and sizes to support a vibrant arts community rich in cultures and stories—one that values the health and well-being of its citizens and is committed to building a sustainable future for our creative sector.
We empower local arts organizations to thrive through flexible funding programs, arts-specific professional development that fosters organizational growth and evolution, and engaging, art-centered experiences that connect artists with audiences.
