 Located in a historic storefront in the vibrant commercial district of Jefferson Avenue in Oak Cliff, the Oak Cliff Cultural Center opened its doors in August 2010.

The 5,000 sq. ft. storefront features a visual arts gallery and a dance studio/rehearsal space. The Oak Cliff Cultural Center is open Tuesday – Thursday, 3:00-9:00 p.m., Friday, 1:00-6:00 p.m., and Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
