January 3rd, 2011 
The beginning of a new year means New Year’s resolutions that we try and keep with all year. Short term goals we strive to achieve before the next year and also it means a brand new calendar filled with 12 empty months we can eagerly fill up with events. The Dallas Museum of Art has a list of events starting in January that might excite you.
Every Thursday night beginning January 6th, Dallas Museum of Art offers Jazz in the Atrium offering a variety of interesting talent. From 6pm-8pm you are given the opportunity to hear the Quamon Fowler Group whose stylistic approach consists of a mixture of straight-ahead, fusion, and bebop jazz combined with gospel, groove, and Texas soul, the 3rd Annual Tenor Madness Concert Honoring Marchel Ivery and many more including Jazzmeia Horn an up-and-coming vocalist making her debut at the Dallas Museum of Art.
There are also family fun events you can fill your calendar with. Every first Tuesday in the month admission is free to the Dallas Museum of Art.
