David Lozano watches as speakers talk to crowd of ralliers outside of Dallas City Hall.

In Dallas, city officials are putting together the budget for the new fiscal year. And one budget proposal has some in the arts community raising eyebrows.

It’s a proposal to pay $1.5 million a year for the next 10 years to help the AT&T Performing Arts Center pay down its debt. Many small arts organizations and cultural groups oppose this plan and they rallied against it over the weekend. Art&Seek’s Hady Mawajdeh attended the rally and reports.
