Oak Cliff Cultural Center Presents "I DON'T DREAM ABOUT THE FUTURE" by MOM (Brooke Chaney)

The Oak Cliff Cultural Center is excited to host I DON'T DREAM ABOUT THE FUTURE, a solo exhibition by Dallas-based artist MOM (Brooke Chaney).

MOM (Brooke Chaney) is a multidisciplinary artist with a BFA in Fibers from the University of North Texas.

The artist will also hold a gallery talk on November 9, 2024, from 2 to 3 p.m. at Oak Cliff Cultural Center. The exhibition will be on display through November 15, 2024.
