Dallas Center for the Performing Arts
Dallas, Texas

Groundbreaking will take place at the Center’s future site on November 10, 2005.

Located in the heart of the Arts District the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts is the largest and most ambitious cultural project of its kind in the history of Dallas.

All of the Center’s venues are being designed to bring the community together and celebrate culturally diverse traditions.
The commencement of groundbreaking marks a significant milestone in the nine-year campaign, beginning in 2000, to raise funds to build the Center.

The Center is comprised of the following venues:

Foster and Partners
Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House
Designed in a modern horseshoe configuration that will seat 2,200.

Rem Koolhaas OMA
Dee and Charles Wyly Theater
Serving as a gateway to the Dallas Arts District from the downtown business center, will seat 600

The redesigned Annette Strauss Artist Square, the Center’s outdoor venue for festivals, concerts and theatrical productions. The architect will be named later this year.

Grand Plaza will connect the Center’s venues through an outdoor environment designed by Landscape Architect of Record, JJR of Chicago with Landscape Design Consultant, Michel Desvigne of Paris

Good, Fulton & Farrell Architects (GFF) will design the underground parking structure, accommodating more than 600 vehicles, that will serve patrons of the Center’s venues and the eastern end of the Dallas Arts District.

SOM Chicago
Corgan Associates Dallas
City Performance Hall
The Hall, funded separately by the City of Dallas, will provide main stage production space for many of the city’s smaller performing arts organizations.

Following completion of the parking garage, construction of Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House and the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre will follow in fall 2006. All of the venues for the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts are scheduled to open in late 2009.
