Check your URL, because you haven't inadvertently clicked over to The Onion. Dallas was ranked 19th in the Top 25 Big Cities for Art by AmericanStyle Magazine in its June 2012 Summer issue. (Up from 24th in 2011 and 2010). Granted, we didn't get a fancy write-up like the big daddies on the East Coast or Chicago, but we did beat the fuck out of San Antonio and Houston (21 and 22, respectively.)

Kidding, kidding. We're happy for y'all, too. After all, you're key players in the Republic's eventual takeover. (Shout-out to Small Art Towns, Marfa, Fredericksberg and Wimberly.)

But, so yeah ... about this?

Especially since we're coming in behind cities that are smaller and have less Ewing bucks. Still good that we're on the list at all, no?

19th?  I wouldn't think that was anything to brag about

Austin? Austin has a lot less art than Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth. But I guess having a lot of people claiming to be artists is what drives their ranking.
