The Sammons Center for the Arts is a Dallas landmark, serving as the home for 12 arts organizations representing every performing arts discipline. Over 40 other arts organizations also regularly use the Center's services and facilities for rehearsals, meetings, performances, auditions, and special events.

Located in the historic Turtle Creek Pump Station, the building was designed by the prominent architectural firm of C.A. Gill & Sons, who also designed many of the city’s imposing residences and the City’s third City Hall. Completed in 1909, the Pump Station is in fact the oldest public building in Dallas, and was the sole source of water for the City of Dallas until 1930. In 1981, the building was designated as an historic landmark by the Dallas City Council. Restoration of the building as an arts center began in 1986 and took two years to complete. It now features over 19,000 square feet of office, rehearsal, meeting and performance space, and operates as a not-for-profit corporation.

Each fall and spring, the Center presents "Sammons Jazz", the only regular ongoing jazz performance series in the Dallas-Fort Worth area featuring local jazz artists.
