In August 2010 the Oak Cliff Cultural Center opened its doors, officially replacing the Ice House Cultural Center, which closed in September 2009. For over a decade, the Ice House provided Oak Cliff and the surrounding communities with diverse art and cultural experiences. The newly renovated Oak Cliff Cultural Center, owned and operated by the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs with its art gallery and multi-purpose studio, will continue in this tradition of cultural service and will begin a new era of artistic and cultural opportunity.
