38th Annual Obelisk Awards – Thursday, November 5, 2026

Celebrate the 2026 Obelisk Honorees

Six North Texas businesses and leaders whose support of the arts changed what is possible in our region. We are looking forward to honoring this special group in November at the JW Marriott Dallas Arts District.

The Obelisk Awards, presented by Neiman Marcus, is BCA’s annual signature event. It stands as the region’s premier celebration of business-arts partnerships. This event draws a large audience of executives, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders each year to honor those whose investments of time, talent, and resources have transformed North Texas’ cultural landscape.

Meet the 2026 honorees, learn more about the Obelisk Awards, and show your support by sponsoring or attending.
