The Building

Sunset Art Studios is a non-profit studio in Dallas, TX focused on social practice.

Through our work we operate an artist-run studio space, residency and gallery where we focus on object-making and the artistic process as access points for empowerment. We are always working to create sustainable systems of celebratory inclusion and support.

Since co-directors Emily Riggert and Rachel Rushing opened in May of 2016, Sunset Art Studios has increased access to the arts in southern Dallas with area partners.

We do this by providing free studio space to artists who identify as a part of marginalized groups and offering free community arts programming to reduce geographic and social barriers of seeing and engaging with art.

Sunset Art Studios continues to evolve and grow prioritizing the need to explore and resist systemic exclusion from the arts. Our strategy for fighting against traditional hegemony in the art world (re: white supremacy and the patriarchy) is made of an inclusive artist sustainability program, residency program, and public programming.

Hours

By appointment or during public events.

Parking

Street parking and a small parking lot in the back of the building

Public Transportation

A 10 minute walk from the Red Line Tyler Station and very close to DART bus 42 stop at Edgefield and Ferndale.
