If your New Year’s resolution for 2023 is to get out more and experience art and culture and you also happen to live in Dallas-Fort Worth — or plan to visit — then this list is for you! And if you’re against resolutions but need some inspiration or variety for outings with friends, dates or family days, then this is also for you. Here's your artsy DFW calendar for this (hopefully better than the last) year:
