Best Local Museum
Dallas Museum of Art
1717 Harwood St.
Open daily (except Mondays) at 10 a.m. (noon Sundays). • DMA.org.
Nobody who has been inside the Dallas Museum of Art in the last year or so would question why Dallas Voice readers selected it as their favorite local museum. Under the guidance of executive director Agustin Arteaga, the DMA’s exhibitions have flourished in their thoughtfulness and diversity, from the record-breaking Mexican surrealist show featuring bisexual artist Frida Kahlo to the Zen-like Infinity Mirror Room of Yayoi Kusama’s All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins to a radical fashion display by avant garde designer Iris van Herpen (pictured) to a new permanent collection of Islamic art, the DMA is an exciting place to visit. And how often do you say that about a museum?

Best Local LGBT Role Model Sean Baugh
Artistic director of Turtle Creek Chorale.TurtleCreekChorale.com.
Everyone has a different definition of what a role model is, but by almost any standard, Sean Baugh qualifies. The artistic director for the Turtle Creek Chorale for the past three years, Baugh not only handles his musical duties with style and audience appeal, but his genial nature makes him seem like just a “good guy.” And in a world of 4 a.m. hate tweets from the Oval Office toilet, being a good guy means something.
