Delight in the joy of spring when ArtScape, the Dallas Arboretum’s juried fine art and fine craft show and sale, brings together outstanding artists from around the country.

ArtScape will be showcased the third week of the festival when our publicity and our gardens are in full bloom.

This exhibition is a juried showcase of artwork that features the Arboretum from season to season. This event is in conjunction with ArtScape, the Dallas Arboretum’s fine art show and sale that takes place the third weekend of March each year. This year’s Garden Gallery will be displayed in our Rosine Hall Gallery that is right inside the main public entry and next to the gift store. The artwork will be on display for two full weeks and three weekends during Dallas Blooms and ArtScape. All of the art work that is selected for Garden Gallery will be for sale and a percentage of the proceeds from the sales will go to support the education department at the Arboretum. We are currently taking registrations for Garden Gallery and we would like to invite you to participate. Beginning now, you are welcome to come out to the garden and begin painting, drawing, photographing or sketching!
