Art is for everyone, regardless of demographics or geography.

We stand together to connect everyone in our community, from every age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Over the Bridge Arts is a nonprofit supporting new works and new artists in Oak Cliff (a suburb of Dallas) since 2017. Just as it sounds, we bridge all the arts together: music, dance, theatre, performance art, poetry, literature and visual art. Our goal is to celebrate diversity in all that we do, to reflect our community and our world in all its power and beauty.

Our goals are to:

• Provide a platform to premiere new works in dance, theater, music, spoken word, performance art, visual art and poetry.

• Support local performing artists by always compensating each artist.

• Amplify inclusive voices from our Latinx, Asian American, African-American, Native American and LGBTQIA communities.

• Connect generations: our productions feature performers ranging from their 20s - 70s.
