Close out Dallas Contemporary’s 2026 Summer Series with an evening of live jazz, local art, and creative exchange. Musicians from the Institute for Creative Music will provide a live jazz soundtrack for the evening, alongside the rescheduled DC Empty performance of Andie Flores: This Is A ______’s World. Throughout the museum, guests can browse a marketplace featuring artist vendors from across the region and discover original artwork, publications, and handcrafted goods. The evening will also feature a special tattoo pop-up from Bug House Tattoos, offering exclusive flash designs inspired by Dallas Contemporary’s current exhibitions. Celebrating the intersection of visual art, music, and community, this event offers a fitting finale to a summer of dynamic programming at Dallas Contemporary.

The IfCM Collective will perform two sets of music. Inspired by Francisco Moreno: Historia Sintética's themes, characters, and style, the program features composed music and text (distinct and recognizable touchstones) connected by fully improvised connective material. Both sets will contain elements of the same music and text but will be performed in two distinct ways. Expect elements of audience participation along with familiar and surprising sounds and visuals.

Set 1: 6:30PM - 7:15PM

Set 2: 8:00PM - 8:45PM

The Institute for Creative Music is dedicated to building a fresh model for contemporary jazz and experimental music through integrative learning and performance experiences. Since 2011, the IfCM has been collaborating with schools, organizations, and individuals throughout the United States and released several albums including tributes to Björk, St. Vincent, and Prince. www.ifcmusic.org
