Martine Elyse Philippe, head of the Dallas Office of Arts and Culture, sat down with The News for a talk about her agenda.
What’s been most striking for me is Dallas’ diverse audience base. I’m charged with attending many events and in getting to know artists and arts organizations across the city. I’m impressed most of all with the numbers, the folks who are coming and engaging with this range of experience. It pleases me so much to see such a diverse audience base — families, folks of all ages.
With Maryam Obaidullah Baig as the title character, a scene from Cara Mia Theatre's production of "To DIE:GO in Leaves by Frida Kahlo."We’re making strides in addressing the six priorities that emerged from the plan, including communication, support and maintaining all the activity that takes place in the city’s arts ecosystem. We continue to be focused on making sure to maintain our creative economy as we emerge from the pandemic.

ORG XMIT: DMN2102041858484769 How do you feel about attendance at arts groups, now that the worst of the pandemic appears to be over.

I have to say, no — we have not fully recovered. As it relates to attendance, our office is now fully committed to reducing what I call the barriers to accessibility. We have to do everything we can to restore attendance. So, we are fully involved in mitigating external factors — such as the current cost-of-living increases that make it difficult for people to reengage with the arts.The answer is twofold: for one, the negative impact on the audience.
