Terry Loftis is a giant in the Dallas Arts community, and his impact can be felt across all facts of our LGBTQ community. From producing Broadway musicals, to raising money through The Arts Community Alliance (TACA) to serving at the senior co-chair of Black Tie Dinner, Loftis’ handprint has left an indelible impression.
But it wasn’t always smooth sailing — not until he came to terms with his true self and found his tribe. Loftis is the Donna Wilhelm Family president and executive director of The Arts Community Alliance.
TACA’s mission is to support excellence and impact the arts in North Texas through grant making, capacity building and thought leadership.
Under his leadership, TACA launched the TACA Resiliency Initiative to reframe vital support for Dallas cultural arts organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
