==History==
Artist Square opened in 1989 as a lawn and performance pavilion constructed by the City of Dallas.〔Jackson, David. "Council OKs $1.8 million for space to showcase arts." The Dallas Morning News 15 Jun. 1989, HOME FINAL, NEWS: 38a. NewsBank. Web. 17 Sep. 2010.〕 The $1.8 million project, one of the early venues in the growing Arts District, was temporary in nature and built as a public forum for local visual and performing artists who couldn't afford more elaborate venues. It consisted of a main stage, sloping lawn and a smaller platform stage set in a grassy plaza. The original plan called for a black box theater and a small artists' compound containing galleries and studio space, but these were never completed.〔Dillon, David. "A space unsure of its place - Artists Square can't find its turf." The Dallas Morning News 16 Oct. 1990, HOME FINAL, TODAY: 1C. NewsBank. Web. 17 Sep. 2010.〕 The site regularly drew 200,000 visitors each year to concerts, dance events and festivals.〔Saul, Michael. "Council renames Artist Square to pay tribute to Annette Strauss - Former mayor praised for years of vol- Unteer service to arts community." The Dallas Morning News 10 Dec. 1998, HOME FINAL, NEWS: 43A. NewsBank. Web. 17 Sep. 2010.〕
In 1998 the facility was renamed "Annette Strauss Artist Square" for Annette Strauss, the late former Mayor of Dallas who was a passionate supporter of the arts and the Dallas Arts District.〔Saul, Michael.

As the AT&T Performing Arts Center took shape, a new permanent facility (designed by architectural firm Foster and Partners with Dallas based Good Fulton & Farrell serving as Architect of Record) was designed for the same general area. The original venue closed in 2005 and was rededicated "Annette Strauss Square" in the northwest corner of the new Center in September 2010.〔DILLON, DAVID.
