Great partnership. Dallas is well known for its beautiful skyline, its impressive buildings and its rich heritage. What we consider most impressive, though, is the spirit of its people, and our collective power to make change. Big change. Together since 2012, private hoteliers in Dallas have been able to work with the public in a unique partnership with a shared goal: Enhance tourism. Dallas was the first major city in Texas to establish a Tourism Public Improvement District, which by law allowed us to utilize travelers’ dollars in a strategic way to not only grow the number of visitors to our city, but also to enrich the lives of the people who live and work in Dallas. Other cities, seeing our success, have followed suit. As usual, Dallas leads the way, and in a big way, with the most wins by any Texas Tourism Public Improvement District to date. Since the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District’s (DTPID) inception in 2012, together we have realized a multi-billion-dollar economic impact.

    Texas Cultural Trust 2019 State of the Arts Report Art Can A program of the Texas Cultural Trust The Arts Work for Texas The Texas Cultural Trust’s Art Can program conducts research and analyzes data to quantify the impact the arts have on Texas. The 2019 State of the Arts Report demonstrates the impact the arts have in shaping the cultural, economic, and educational future of Texas. To learn more about the research conducted by the Texas Cultural Trust see page 22, About the Research. About the Texas Cultural Trust The Texas Cultural Trust, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1995 to be the leading voice for the arts in education, advocacy, and economic impact in Texas, spotlighting the artistic excellence of our state. 1 Letter from Texas Cultural Trust Board Chair 2 A great education provides children with the opportunity to achieve their personal best. I grew up in an area of Houston with excellent schools and outstanding programs in the arts. All Texans are not so fortunate. For schools with limited access to arts courses, the results can be measured in lower test scores, poor attendance, and higher dropout rates. In contrast, arts access can create a path to future opportunities in a variety of fields. Given all that Art Can do, all Texas children deserve the opportunity to be empowered through arts education. Making access to the arts a priority is the critical mission of the supporters and board members of the Texas Cultural Trust. In the following report, the Trust’s research demonstrates the importance of what Art Can do: higher student achievement, greater graduation rates, a powerful boost to the Texas economy, and preparation for a 21st century workforce.
