About Us
Cima Arts is a Dallas-based arts nonprofit organization whose mission is to expand the arts in marginalized communities. We connect audiences with local artists through exhibits, events, and educational programs, championing diverse voices to shape a vibrant and inclusive creative community.
Cima Arts was founded by individuals who grew up in underserved communities and know what it’s like to lack access to creative spaces. The art world often feels reserved for those with privilege and money, leaving many without the resources to explore their passions. Since 2018, we’ve hosted annual galleries to uplift local talent, and in August 2023, we officially became a nonprofit. Today, we continue providing tools, support, and opportunities so people of all ages can express themselves, nurture their creativity, and even build a future in the arts.
Who We Are

Where We Are
Cima Arts is based in the Dallas Fort Worth area, where our roots and community connections continue to grow. As a young 501(c)(3) nonprofit officially established in 2023, we're in an exciting phase of development. Our next step is to secure a dedicated space where we can host events, workshops, and exhibitions year-round, and expand access to the resources we offer. Having a physical home will allow us to deepen our impact and better serve the creative voices in our community.
