The Art Institute of Dallas announces the latest exhibit in The Pegasus Gallery, “Draws for a Cause.”

The exhibit features designs created by our Graphic Design students and faculty promoting non-profit organizations in the Metroplex.  The exhibit opens Tuesday, September 19th with a wine and cheese reception in the Gallery from 6-8 pm.  The reception is open to the public at no charge.

The Production Design Team at The Art Institute of Dallas has logged over $200,000 in service hours to area non-profits over the past six years.  But they have never charged a cent.

Working with organizations such as the Dallas Museum of Art, Challenge Air, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, The Jim and Joanie Hatcher Charitable Trust, the Crow Collection of Asian Art, Share the Blessings, WordSpace and The Micheal Maddison Childrens Fund has opened the eyes and hearts of Art Institute students, allowing them to use their talents to help those in need.

The exhibition will run from September 19 – November 30.
