VIDEO ART NIGHT (VAN) 2025
In celebration of Dallas Arts Month, AURORA and Downtown Dallas, Inc. are thrilled to present the next edition of Video Art Night (VAN)! The fourth edition of this one-night event will turn the exterior space of the AT&T Discovery District into a immersive outdoor exhibition with video artworks created by leading regional and national artists.
Friday, April 11, 2025
7-10PM
AT&T Discovery District
308 S Akard St
Dallas, TX 75202
VAN 2025 Artists:
Abinadi Meza, Barry Anderson, Christina J. Hahn, Ernesto D. Morales, Hillerbrand + Magsamen, Jiatong Yao, Krista Leigh Steinke, Nechama Winston, Nicole Antebi, Wenwen Zhu
VAN 2025 also marks the first presentation of artworks by regional and national artists on the 104-ft-tall Discovery District Media Wall at the corner of Akard and Jackson Streets.
In parallel with the VAN program, visitors are invited to enjoy live music, food and drink kiosks, and music by DJ Sober, hosted by Downtown Dallas, Inc.
Through innovative artistic approaches, the featured video artworks will examine common grounds that bind us—whether through values, goals, or narratives—moving beyond individual differences to open new pathways of connection.
Free and open to the public, VAN redefines artistic presentation, providing increased accessibility and fostering a deeper comprehension of the intersection between art, technology, community, and the urban landscape.
