Quietly reflect on one of the most spiritually-based art forms at the Crow Collection of Asian Art. The collection combines pieces from China, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia, each with distinct cultural and artistic traditions. The museum is committed to promoting learning and dialogue about the arts and cultures of Asia, and they are preserving and sharing these treasures with the public. By fostering compassion and inclusivity through their work, the museum is helping to build a greater awareness and shared sense of what it means to be human.

The Texas Trees Foundation aims to create a sustainable and green future for North Texas. They use research-based plans to educate and engage the public about the social, economic, environmental, and health benefits of trees and urban forestry, ultimately improving the region's quality. It is a community comprised of beautiful, well-maintained parks, shady tree-lined streets and boulevards, hiking, biking, and nature trails, and other outdoor amenities which combine to form a living and working environment that enhances the value of its commercial areas and its neighborhoods, and nurtures the health, safety, and quality of life of all its citizens; a community in which its citizens actively participate in building and sustaining its urban forest.

If you're a fan of cutting-edge films, videos, and documentaries, you won't want to miss the annual four-day Dallas VideoFest every Fall at several venues. The festival is open to professional and non-professional filmmakers and specializes in independent, alternative, and non-commercial media. You'll  see hard-to-find works that are rarely seen on television, in movie theaters, or elsewhere, despite their artistic excellence and cultural and social relevance. It's a great opportunity to discover new and exciting voices in the world of film and media.
