The Cultural Arts Event Marketing Fund represents 7.5% of the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District (DTPID) budget; historically over $1,200,000 annually.
The FY2024 Event Marketing Fund Application portal has closed, as all available funds have now been requested/allocated. We have created a waitlist in the event funds become available (through event cancellations, etc.) and we are able to make approve additional events.
