Guide to free museums in the Dallas metroplex

 

The recession is here.  Many are tightening their budgets, changing their spending habits, and wondering if they are next in line to receive a pink slip or foreclosure notice.  During these tough times, support of the visual arts is at risk, but that doesn't have to be the case in the Dallas metroplex. 

Art is for everyone during good times and tough times.  During this challenging time in our nation's history, be inspired by the visual arts in your community.  Learn something new about yourself or others around you  through the visual arts.  Let the visual arts be your escape from this economic climate-if only for a while.  The message you receive from an artist's painting or sculpture just may help you return to the reality of things with an uplifted spirit and better attitude.  Furthermore, your access to the visual arts is not denied during the recession.  Many Dallas/Fort Worth museums offer free access to the great visual artworks of world-renowned artists.  Take a look at those who do and plan your visit today.
