The City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture is requesting the submission of qualifications from Dallas-based visual artists to design a commercial style movie poster.
The chosen artist will have the opportunity to design a poster for the Dallas Majestic Theatre centennial and celebration which will take place in September 2021.
Planning for the Majestic Theatre centennial began in 2019 when a committee was formed to explore a variety of options for commemorating the milestone, including a gala dinner, memorabilia exhibit, community event, and public concert.
According to the City of Dallas, the objective is to honor the venue’s legacy as the last remnant of the City of Dallas’ historic Theatre Row.
