Those venturing into and out of the American Airlines Center between now and March 31 could get an accidental dose of art, thanks to the Dallas Contemporary. The non-profit currently has a very cool, but easy-to-miss, video art exhibition called Los Americanos, lining its narrow interior gallery's walls.

Soon, you will not be able to miss it. Not if you have eyes and a ticket to a Mavs game, anyway. The Contemporary has joined forces with the American Airlines Center to borrow the exterior plaza's Jumbotrons for a few minutes each night. They'll subliminally slip some art into your mind by peppering in four-minute works by Texas artists Joshua Bienko and Jason Reed.

There's no telling exactly when, in the 45 minute to one hour window, you'll see the artists' pieces, so keep your eyes open. Then, go spend time with the entire thing over at the Dallas Contemporary. (You could check it out during their big ol' Phenomenon event Saturday night.)

Here's the entire schedule of when you can see art on a Jumbotron:

Feb 5 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 6 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 7 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 8 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 9 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 10 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 11 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 12 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 13 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 14 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 15 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 16 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 17 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 18 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 19 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 20 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 21 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 22 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 23 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 24 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 25 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 26 3:30pm - 4:30pm Feb 27 8:00pm - 8:45pm Feb 28 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 1 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 2 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 3 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 4 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 5 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 6 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 7 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 8 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 10 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 11 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 12 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 13 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 14 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 15 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 16 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 17 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 18 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 19 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 20 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 21 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 22 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 23 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 24 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 25 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 26 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 27 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 28 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 29 3:30pm - 4:30pm Mar 30 8:00pm - 8:45pm Mar 31 3:30pm - 4:30
