“Adolphus Tower Gallery is not a museum; it’s an interactive space meant to educate and empower”
Dallas College students exhibit their art in Downtown Dallas Gallery
Adolphus Tower Gallery, at the key corner of Main and Akard in Downtown Dallas, launched September 2023 and headlines a visual arts program that includes paintings, digital art, photography, sculpture, and fashion from established and student DFW artists. The primary objective of this art initiative is to offer promising young artists a platform to present their art and fashion design works in a gallery atmosphere, surrounded by established figures in their art community. It is an opportunity for these Dallas College students to receive mentorship from seasoned artists and operate an art gallery under the expert guidance of Frankie Garcia III, owner, and founder of FGIII Fine Art Productions.
Hoque Global, owner of The Adolphus Tower, is committed, long-term, to support and foster young talent within the Dallas College School of Creative Arts, Entertainment and Design. The Adolphus Tower Gallery is a true testament to their commitment to empowering the next generation of artists and creators. Hoque Global, Dallas College, Downtown Dallas Inc., and FGIII Fine Art Productions have collaborated to create an ongoing platform that will always have creative content from Dallas College as a center of excellence.
"We are thrilled that the corner of Main and Akard in Downtown Dallas at Adolphus Tower is a special, amazing space that everyone can experience and appreciate and enjoy the extraordinary creativity of Dallas College students, alongside the Dallas artists who are continuing to show how our city and Metroplex are home to brilliant talents in all neighborhoods," said Mike Hoque, Chief Executive Officer of Hoque Global. “We want to do all possible to help artists thrive and succeed, and our Adolphus Tower Gallery is a venue and just one facet of our work together.”
"We have received a tremendous response from our partnership here at Adolphus Tower Gallery from the DFW independent artist community, “said Frankie Garcia III founder of FGIII Fine Art Production. “There is legitimate excitement when entering the gallery space and an eager anticipation about upcoming exhibitions and collaborations. My team is honored to be included in this project. A serious art space that represents our community and provides real-time opportunities for students to learn the business of art has arrived!"
“We are so delighted to continue to have the opportunity to highlight our students’ work in the newly created Adolphus Tower Gallery, said Ahava Silkey-Jones, Vice Provost, School of Creative Arts, Entertainment and Design. “Showing student work alongside professional artists in this space started as a pilot and has evolved into a permanent fixture in the Downtown landscape, drawing crowds on opening nights and weekends. There is eager anticipation for the announcement of each new exhibit from students, artists, and the community. We are grateful for Hoque Global's belief in our vision and look forward to seeing the gallery evolve in the new year as we continue to reimagine the space.”
"The Downtown community has wholeheartedly embraced this visionary initiative, and Downtown Dallas, Inc. (DDI) is thrilled to continue this strategic collaboration with esteemed partners, Hoque Global, FGIII, and Dallas College, to bring the next installment of this remarkable project to fruition,” said Shalissa Perry, Chief Marketing Officer, Downtown Dallas, Inc. “The gallery's strategic positioning in the heart of Downtown not only activates a premier location but also serves as a vital platform for showcasing and nurturing the talents of our local, emerging artists. We eagerly anticipate the community's immersion in the transformative art exhibition.
Adolphus Tower Gallery continues to represent a perfect synergy of talent, mentorship, and community support.
