Booker T. High School Visual Arts Audition Workshops at Five Dallas Libraries, Nov. 14
Five Dallas Public Library branches will host the same workshop for students considering Booker T. Washington High School’s Visual Arts Conservatory on Nov. 14. The choice is which branch to visit: the sessions are simultaneous, not stops on a route.
A workshop alongside—not inside—the application
The library session is for current eighth-graders interested in auditioning for the Visual Arts Conservatory. It offers a chance to learn about the pathway, but it is not an application, interview or audition. Booker T.’s admissions information describes on-site interviews and auditions as part of the formal process.
For the 2027–28 school year, online applications open Nov. 1, 2026, and the final application deadline is Jan. 31, 2027. The school says campuses review applications marked in process during that period; applicants marked eligible receive their audition date and time by email.

The next dates—and the posted requirements
The school lists an all-conservatory audition workshop for Jan. 21, 2027, at 5 p.m., followed by auditions on Jan. 30 and Feb. 6. It lists March 1 as the date district notification letters are emailed. The school notes that timeline dates may change.
For 2027–28 applicants, the requirements table lists a GPA figure of 75 and Grade 7 and Grade 8 English language arts and math scores. The listed scores are Grade 7 ELA 1,634 (40th percentile) and math 1,703 (53rd); Grade 8 ELA 1,753 (70th) and math 1,790 (70th). Families should consult the school’s admissions information for the full requirements and updates.

Other conservatory sessions are separate events
The school calendar also lists Dance library workshops on Dec. 5, Music workshops on Dec. 12 and Theatre workshops on Jan. 9, each at 10 a.m. at the same five branches. Magnet Open Houses for all conservatories are listed for Dec. 8 and Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. These are separate dates and programs, not parts of the Nov. 14 Visual Arts session.
