Dallas’ Black Academy of Arts and Letters shares plans for renovation
The Dallas Morning News
The downtown arts group will be relocating to Fair Park before the overhaul.
When the Black Academy of Arts and Letters returns to the downtown Dallas convention center in December 2028 as projected, it’ll do so in a revamped home.
In a Monday briefing at the academy, TBAAL, as the group is called, previewed its proposed renovation plans.
Upgrades will target the nearly 70-year-old building’s theatrical system, ADA accessibility and mechanical, electrical and plumbing infrastructure. The facilities will also be expanded via a reconfiguration of the space.
Curtis King, the founder of TBAAL, said it took the organization nine years to secure a permanent home.
