Why North Texas?
The Support New Music Petition is the driving force behind establishing North Texas as the New Music Capitol. With a goal of 50,000 signatures, this initiative is backed by Visit Dallas, DO214, and the City of Dallas to create career-building platforms and connect artists across cities.
Dallas’ influence in arts and music is undeniable. The city significantly outpaces other Texas metro areas in spending on music entertainment and shows, which are part of the broader arts and culture industry. According to the 2025 State of the Arts Report, Dallas generated an impressive $1.27 billion in taxable sales, far surpassing another major metro area that recorded $607 million. This proves Dallas is already a leader in the creative economy. Now, we’re taking the next step to officially adopt the title of New Music Capitol.
Help Keep the Music Going
To sustain this vibrant initiative, we are seeking large corporate donations and sponsorships. These contributions help us ensure that shows and events remain free, while simultaneously supporting the local economy. By providing these free experiences, we open doors for everyone to enjoy and engage with North Texas’ thriving music scene.
Signing the petition is simple and impactful. All we’re asking is for your support to get 50,000 signatures! Additionally, we encourage you to attend some of the amazing local shows and events to show your appreciation for the arts and help our community thrive.
How Will the Funds Be Used?
Every $1,000 sponsorship allows us to build a professional PR media package for an artist. Here’s the breakdown of how the funds are spent to create real value for new talent:
- $150 for a high-quality photoshoot to showcase their image.
- $150 for a professionally edited short video shoot to highlight their work.
- $150 for social media content, press release creation, and web presence to amplify their reach.
- $150 for custom print posters and design to promote their music.
These elements are vital for an emerging artist’s visibility, ensuring their work gets noticed and celebrated.
