Fast Company's annual list of innovative cities highlights Dallas as an emerging hub of culture.
"The new AT&T Performing Arts Center solidifies Dallas's arts district by bringing a red-hot heart to the city's downtown, already home to a symphony hall and sculpture museum. The center, which opened in October and includes the Wyly Theatre and Winspear Opera House, attracted more than 100,000 visitors its first season."
Fast Company says Dallas is a city to watch and emulate for its growing arts scene.
