Thank you Dallas Business Journal for covering TRG's generous support of the Business Council for the Arts! We can't agree more with your statement that this is "an example of the kind of partnerships that can sustain organizations dedicated to the cultural enrichment of North Texas amid its record economic growth — which brings plenty of opportunities but also growing pains for nonprofits like higher rents and increased competition for donations." Bravo TRG for stepping up for the arts!
