Dallas College

On My Own Time is a corporate arts competition offering employees and their families a unique opportunity to showcase their literary and visual arts talents.

Dallas College is one of the largest community colleges in Texas. Since 1965, we have helped almost 3 million people on their educational journey.

Dallas College works to ensure that Dallas County is vibrant, growing and economically viable for future generations.

Our students benefit from our partnerships with local business leaders, school districts and four-year universities, and we have over 20 years of experience in online education. In addition, we provide economic benefits to business, taxpayers and the community.

Through course curriculum, art exhibitions, performances, and our permanent collection, Dallas College sees the importance in fostering an appreciation for the richness and diversity of all forms of art.
