The Sammons Center for the Arts, located in Dallas, Texas, operates as a supportive hub for small performing arts groups within the Historic Turtle Creek Pump Station. It houses 15 resident groups across all performing arts disciplines, while a broader network of more than 90 arts organizations regularly uses its services and facilities. The organization emphasizes accessibility, the need for a balanced arts ecosystem that includes both small and large organizations, and the arts' role in building community and contributing to a thriving economy. In the performing arts sector, the center functions as a resource and venue that complements the city’s broader arts landscape. In 2026, Sammons Center for the Arts announced the retirement of Arlington Jones, who had led Sammons Jazz for 15 years, marking a notable leadership transition. The center continues to support programming across the arts community and serves as infrastructure for collaboration and performance.
