Welcome to Dallas Galleries for Advocacy (DGFA)

A hub where art and advocacy unite to create meaningful community connections.

As a gallery member, you are part of a growing movement to amplify art’s role in storytelling and advocacy while driving visibility and impact for your space.

Your gallery will be featured in our interactive, trackable digital guide—a tool that’s revolutionizing how art lovers discover Dallas galleries. With unlimited reach, the guide ensures your space and events are visible not only to locals but to visitors planning their trips to Dallas.

Broader reach: Unlimited digital distribution far exceeds the 10,000 copies of past print guides.

Real-time updates: Keep your gallery offerings current throughout the year.

Dynamic features: Clickable links, embedded videos, and slideshows make your listing stand out.

DGFA’s new Instagram-first approach ensures your gallery is seen by the right audience. Last year, we tested a one month, focused digital strategy campaign which resulted in:

233.68% engagement growth in one month.

66.23% new follower increase—proof that this new strategy attracts attention and keeps it.

Through engaging reels, stories, and carousels, we’ll spotlight your gallery’s story and events, driving traffic to your digital guide listing.

As a member, you’ll receive:

1 professionally documented event annually in partnership with a nonprofit.

Video highlights, interviews, and articles shared across DGFA’s digital platforms.

A quarterly newsletter feature showcasing your event to a broader audience.

Partnering with a nonprofit amplifies your gallery’s community impact, creating a win-win connection for both your space and the cause you support.

• Exclusive Event Coverage

DGFA bridges the gap between galleries, nonprofits, and sponsors. Sponsors underwrite many of our storytelling initiatives, allowing us to offer professional services—like video production—at a fraction of the market rate.

Your membership fee of $1,200 unlocks access to services valued at over $3,000, made possible by sponsor support.

How does the nonprofit partnership work?

Your gallery partners with a nonprofit of your choice. This could mean hosting a representative to speak or sharing informational materials at your event. DGFA captures the story, creating engaging content that benefits both your gallery and the nonprofit.

What is included in the event documentation?

Each gallery receives a short documentary-style video, including interviews, event highlights, and promotional content. This professional production, valued at $3,000, is included in your membership.
