Nirvana for the Artfully-Inclined Known for their architecture and the quality of their collections, museums in DallasFort Worth encompass everything from science and technology to the Western experience, sculpture, the history of aviation and masters of the art world. Those interested in gems and minerals should visit the new exhibit at the Perot Museum. 90 MINUTES IN: This five-floor museum is chock full of so many great exhibits, you may feel you could spend 90 minutes in each of them, but you'll want to reserve that time for the Perot's newest, in the Lyda Hill Gems and Minerals Hall. Here, those who love fine stones can drool over brilliant birthstones, jewelry, pieces in their natural state and the standout "Eyes of Africa," an "alieneye" fluorite from Namibia.
The Perot Museum Then there's the 5-foot-tall "grape jelly" geode and the luminescent "Aurora Butterfly of Peace," an artwork made from 240 colored diamonds and shaped into the form of a butterfly; it took 12 years to create. Among the states and countries featured in the exhibit are Texas, Colorado, Arizona, California, China, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Germany. 214.428.5555, www. perotmuseum.org

When
Look
it comes to the African-American experience, DFW abounds with reflective theater, comedy and dance. The Black Academy of Arts and Letters (214.743.2400) is mid-swing into its 42nd season with events that’ll make you laugh, think and jam. In addition to its popular “Poets in Jazz“ series, March and April see a “Roundtable Writer’s Breakfast” (March 23), the “Harry Belafonte Film Festival” (March 23), “Coffee, Cocktails & Conversation” with actresses Debbi Morgan, Anna Maria Horsford and Jackée Harry (April 6) and a “Budding Rose Concert” (April 12-13) with up-and-coming performers. The Dallas Black Dance Theatre (214.871.2376) was founded in 1976 and is the oldest, continuously operating professional dance company in Dallas. The company’s 12 professional, full-time dancers perform a repertory that mixes modern and ethnic works with ballet and jazz. This season’s performances include “Dancing Beyond Borders” (March 16 & 22) and a “Rising Excellence” encore (April 12-13). Featuring a diverse collection that reaches from folk art through black renaissance and contemporary works, Fair Park’s African American Museum (214.565.9026) is also known for its intelligent programs that foster creative thought. For example, March 16 sees the opening of “#Us Too: Black Women Artists,” in which African-American artists use the power of art as a means to empowerment; on April 2, the thought-provoking “Reflections Through Digital Soul” opens.
for a space that delves into Latino art and culture and you’ll find Dallas’ Latino Cultural Center (214.671.0045), which has a 300-seat theater, a gallery, sculpture courtyards and event plaza. The gallery rotates exhibits of local and regional artists’ works quarterly; through March 30, you can take in the works of Jose Vargas in “Retro-Mático 2,” full of dreamscapes, Mexican religious icons, steampunk and Day of the Dead imagery. Visit the Cine de Oro for these upcoming movies: “La Vida Inmoral de la Pareja Ideal” (March 20), in which two madly-in-love high school students are pulled apart by fate and reconnect 25 years later; in “Un Padre No Tan Padre” (April 17), a father who gets expelled from his retirement home goes to live with his youngest son and has a revelatory experience.
»
Crow
Museum of Asian Art (214.979.6440) is the only museum in Texas dedicated to the arts and cultures of Asia. Through April 7, its exhibit “Clouds and Chaos,” by New York artist Jacob Hashimoto, delves into the role clouds have played across Asian art over time. It’s the first time Hashimoto’s works have been exhibited in a United States museum. In addition to the museum’s stunning works, it offers a robust events program— and both admission to the museum and its events are free. Crow continues to celebrate Hashimoto on April 4, when New York-based performance artist Aki Onda will create a site-specific performance inspired by Hashimoto’s “Nuvole” installation, exploring the relationship between the concrete and the ephemeral through light, sound and other media. 13

Murals abound in Deep Ellum
Delving Deep
A former warehouse district east of downtown, Deep Ellum is the heart and soul of the city’s public art. The 42 Murals project, in conjunction with the neighborhood’s galleries, is a boon for showcasing local talent. Every April, the Deep Ellum Arts Festival (this year, April 5-7), puts 200 decorative and visual artists on display and features 150 bands and singer/songwriters playing on seven different stages, pulling in Deep Ellum’s history as a hotbed for blues musicians. Even the dog-friendly Bark Park is full of artwork, as are light poles installed as part of the recent renovation of Elm Street. The beauty extends into the Deep Ellum Urban Gardens, which encourages a healthly lifestlye and community involvement. 214.984.7300

[WHERE INSIDE]
My Dallas-Fort Worth Maya Delgado [Founder, HeaARTS of Maya]
When she was just 11 years old, Maya Delgado created her nonprofit to help kids in need realize their passion of pursuing the arts. Today, Delgado has helped two dozen children and counting in the DFW area. Here, she shares her own passion for the arts, what she enjoys about Dallas and her travel bucket list. —As told to Maya Roberts
How much have you raised so far? We’ve raised over $25,000 dollars and have given scholarships to over 30 very deserving kids in Dallas. What are your interests in the local arts? I love being in theater and watching performances. I love going to the Winspear Opera House with my mom and watching operas and going to the Dallas Museum of Arts. I go there all the time after school. Art can be expressed many ways and I love to express it through art, dance and music. Everything that’s art is an inspiration to me, and I think Dallas has some of the best venues for being creative in general. You hand-selected the Youth Advisory Board. Were there 40 W H E R E D A L L A S - F O R T W O R T H I M A R C H / A P R I L 2019
any challenges during that processs? I started thinking about kids that have volunteered before and who’d want to do this; who are very passionate about it. I spend a lot of time with them and they’re so talented. I asked them if they truly wanted to do it in their hearts. To see kids participating in this with me is truly amazing because you don’t just have one kid getting in, but multiple kids who choose to lead in this. Where’s your favorite place to eat in DFW? I love to eat at California Pizza. When we first moved to Dallas it was probably all we ate. Another place that I love going to is Liberty Burger. We’ve actually done an event there which was really fun and Liberty Burger seriously has the best burgers in the whole world. What’s on your travel bucket list? I love traveling in general and learning about different cultures. I’m Mexican but I’ve never been to Mexico before, or Cuba, because I’m also Cuban. I’d love to visit there one day where my grandma and grandpa still live. It would be truly amazing to see where my family tree started. Mexico and Cuba would have to be the top two [destinations] on my bucket list. Discover more at

IMAGE COURTESY VOLK PR
How’d you get the idea to start HeARTS of Maya? I train a lot and I noticed that some of my friends didn’t come back to class because they didn’t have the financial aid to continue training, so I asked my parents if there was a way I could help them. My mom and dad went through the processes of turning it [HOM] into a real non-profit organization. I wanted it to be non-profit because I think it's important that all the money goes straight to the scholarships and the scholarships go straight to as many kids as possible.
