Heritage Auction Galleries.

THE ANNUAL FALL GALLERY WALK is designed to stimulate awareness of
the visual arts and the community's cultural richness, providing art
lovers with a wide array of artwork, including paintings, drawings,
sculpture, prints, photography, and video by both emerging talent and
established artists from around the world. Participating members will
have informative flyers on hand during the event or you can visit
www.dallasartdealers.org.

To celebrate its TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY in 2005, the Association
created THE EDITH BAKER ART SCHOLARSHIP, which annually benefits a
senior from Booker T. Washington High School for the
Performing and Visual Arts. Along with a financial award of $3,000,
the students work is highlighted in an exhibition at a member
gallery with the rest of the classs work (see Norwood Flynn Gallery listing for this years show). The student also participates in a mentorforaday program with an art space director of his/her choice. DADA also makes a donation to the freshman art
supplies fund. Winners to date have included Gustavo Galvan and
Everett Brown.
