Check out Arlington's arts and culture scene – museums, galleries, live music, historic venues, and even a planetarium. Here's where to go.
The Arlington Museum of Art (AMA) in the Entertainment District brings world-class art to North Texas. The museum rotates exhibits regularly, and past shows have featured works by Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock. The AMA also partners with Arlington ISD to showcase local student artwork.
On campus, The Gallery at UT Arlington in the Fine Arts building features work by established artists and students in the Bachelor's and Master of Fine Arts programs. You'll find drawings, paintings, sculpture, and performance art. Admission is free.
The Dr. Marcelo Cavazos Center for Visual & Performing Arts, run by Arlington ISD, houses both an art gallery and performing arts venues. The center hosts student work alongside national touring companies and artists.
Levitt Pavilion offers over 50 free concerts every year – country, jazz, folk, blues, soul, and more. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, pack some snacks, and enjoy live music under the stars. We've compiled a list of everything you need to know before you go to The Levitt.
For a more traditional concert setting, check out the Arlington Music Hall in downtown. This historic venue opened as a movie theater in 1950 and has hosted Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Eddie Money, and Rick Springfield. LeAnn Rimes even got her start on this stage here in Arlington!
The UT Arlington Planetarium offers an immersive trip through space with its 60-foot dome and state-of-the-art projection system. Watch the stars, planets, and galaxies come to life, or catch one of their animated shows that take you on wild safaris, through the human body, or into black holes – all from reclining seats.
