Tiny Gallery Trail  | Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas

Exhibition dates | October 10 - January 9, 2027

They greet us at the door. They roam our neighborhood and sleep in our beds. In Oak Cliff, every dog has a story — and so does every person who loves one.

The relationship between Oak Cliff and its dogs is full of love and loyalty, but also fear, loss, and the everyday complexity of caring for animals. The Tiny Gallery Trail invites artists to explore all of it — honestly and with heart.

Community Impact Funds provide fundamental mission support through unrestricted funding to established nonprofit arts organizations for general operations, administration, and programming costs.

This grant opportunity combines the intent of the two grant opportunities previously called CORE and CORE Plus into one unrestricted grant.
