About Hang Dallas

A public lecture series in Dallas. One speaker, one subject, roughly an hour, in an interesting space rather than a lecture hall. Past subjects have included how photographers actually see, and how Neiman Marcus shaped the cultural identity of Dallas. It is for people who want to learn something on a weeknight without signing up for a class.

Alongside The Hang Theory: artist-led workshops, art pop-ups, dating events, poetry nights, and casual hang nights.

Anyone. You do not need to be an artist, a member, or know anything about the subject going in. Most people come with a friend or come alone.

Various spaces around Dallas. There is no permanent home yet, so events move between rooms across the city. The venue for each event is listed on its page at events.hangdallas.com.

Around $35 on average. Pricing varies by event and is listed on each event page.

Regularly, and more often as the calendar fills out. New events are posted at events.hangdallas.com as they are scheduled.

Tickets are sold through Luma. Upcoming events and ticket links are at events.hangdallas.com.

Sometimes. The August 2026 Neiman Marcus talk sold out. Buying ahead is the safer move.

Yes. A small number of member artists bring one piece each, and those pieces are available to buy on site.

A paid membership for working artists in the Dallas area. It covers the business side of being an artist: a place to sell, a way to track whether what you are doing is working, access to shows and opportunities, and other artists to talk to.

An AI assisted social media and content tool included with the Growing Artist Member tier. It learns how you write, drafts captions in your voice, runs a weekly content plan, and pulls your messages from different platforms into one inbox.

On the net sale price, after processing fees and sales tax. Shipping paid by the buyer passes through to the artist and is not split.

Applications are at hangdallas.com/pages/apply. Membership is reviewed, not automatic.

Artists who are already making work and want to sell more of it. It is not a class, and it is not a traditional gallery. Nobody is going to make you an artist. The point is the part after that.

Yes. You can move between tiers yourself at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, downgrades at your next billing date. Dues are not refundable, and annual members keep access through the period they paid for.

No. You can sell your work anywhere else you like.

Yes. Original work, prints, and editions from Dallas artists are for sale at hangdallas.com. Whether a piece is an original or an edition, and how it is numbered or framed, is listed on each piece.

The artist keeps the majority of the proceeds on every sale. Hang Dallas is a vetted conduit to buy through, not a middleman taking the larger share.

Shipping is not included in the price, because shipping art is genuinely expensive and hiding it in the price would mean charging everyone for it. You pay a flat rate based on the packaged size of the piece. Everything ships insured.

Pieces larger than about 48 inches packaged are quoted individually or hand delivered.

Yes. Hand delivery is a flat $100 anywhere within 40 miles of Dallas. Outside that radius, email team@hangdallas.com for a quote.

No. Email team@hangdallas.com if you have a specific situation.

Artists ship pre made work within five business days of the sale. Made to order and custom work has its own lead time listed on the piece.

Thirty days. If you change your mind, you cover return shipping and the piece has to come back undamaged. If something arrives damaged, email team@hangdallas.com and it gets handled with the carrier.

Sometimes. Email team@hangdallas.com and it can usually be arranged.
