DDAMF LAUNCH EVENT
CYBER DALLAS is the launch event leading to the Downtown Dallas Arts & Music Festival (DDAMF), celebrating Dallas Arts Month.
CYBER DALLAS is an immersive exhibition showcasing a sci-fi, futuristic, technology-driven vision of the city and the multicultural artists within. It blends traditional and modern art to create an experience that transports visitors into digi-tech driven narratives that reimagine the city. This exhibition, highlights the works of a diverse group of artists capturing the city of Dallas through unique and intersectional lenses.
Curated by multimedia artist Imani Black.
Among the Artists featured are Weyni Kaysay, Dora Reynosa, Alejandra Martinez, Corey Godfrey, Artfro Kreationz, April Sha’lil, Austin Wafer, Elijah Hanif, Chibuzo Amajor, Dejion Duncan, Lion Roberson, Romulo Martinez, Zack Nguyen, Ayaz Ismail, and Imani Black.
Fashion Designer, Guillermo Rios, will also release a collection called “Art on the Move” that embodies the fusion of Studio Guillermo Rios’ signature hand-painted denim with a mix of other rich textiles. Rios is teasing a collection that explores duality—the tension between past and future, heritage and innovation.
The public is invited to attend the opening reception where they will have the opportunity to meet the artists and engage with the works on exhibition.

FOR THE COMMUNITY… BY THE COMMUNITY.
"DDAMF is one of my favorite events of the year! It's filled to the brim with exceptional artists from across DFW and provides space for established and emerging artists to work alongside each other. The event is inspiring young people and families to come out and build community through the arts. I'm grateful for the opportunity for our students to be a part of this event. Dallas is home to the largest arts district in the nation—two years running—and it shows in events like this how integrated the arts are to the fabric of the community. Dallas College serves students across Dallas county, and we’ve spent decades cultivating local talent and producing artists and arts leaders who have helped shape the city’s creative landscape. Our partnership with DDAMF connects our students directly to real-world, high-impact opportunities that deepen their learning, build their confidence, and invite the public to engage with their talent. It’s also a wonderful way to introduce future students to the wide range of degrees and certifications we offer across the arts and design industry.”
-AHAVA SILKEY-JONES, Vice Provost of Creative Arts, Entertainment, and Design, DALLAS COLLEGE

Whether it’s creating, exhibiting, or performing, these are the moments that shape future artists, designers, and leaders in the field. And for visitors—this is a chance to discover something special and maybe even take a piece of Dallas College home with you.”

I feel that Dallas will enjoy the curation of these artists and what we produce for the city. Thank you again for the opportunity. "
