Tiles Workshop LLC, the Dallas-based mosaic art studio specializing in Turkish lamp-making workshops, has been selected by Visit Dallas as a featured experience on the Dallas Insider Passport, the city's official digital pass designed to welcome international visitors during the World Cup 2026. The studio will offer passport holders a 10 percent discount on its hands-on mosaic lamp-making workshops throughout the tournament period.
The selection places the locally-owned studio among 86 Dallas businesses chosen to showcase the city's cultural offerings to an anticipated 3.8 million visitors expected in North Texas during the World Cup. Visit Dallas selected participating businesses based on their ability to provide authentic, highly-rated local experiences and their capacity to accommodate international tourist volume. Dallas will host nine matches, more than any other U.S. host city, with projections indicating the city will lead all 16 host cities in fan spending during the tournament.
The Dallas Insider Passport launched in June 2026 as Visit Dallas's strategy to direct international visitors beyond stadium venues and into local businesses throughout the city. To access the discount, users must first register for the free digital pass through the Visit Dallas website. Once registered, the 10 percent discount is applied when visitors display the pass on their mobile devices at the Tiles Workshop studio location or enter the passport's designated promo code during online checkout.
"Being selected for the Dallas Insider Passport allows us to share Turkish mosaic artistry with visitors from around the world," said Matt Yigit, founder and CEO of Tiles Workshop. "Our lamp making class provides an authentic cultural experience that connects people through traditional craftsmanship, which aligns perfectly with the international spirit of the World Cup."
The timing of this selection coincides with increased demand for unique team-building and group experiences as companies and organizations seek meaningful ways to engage with international clients and partners visiting Dallas for the World Cup. Tiles Workshop has established itself as a cultural arts educator serving individuals, tourists, and corporate groups across multiple Texas cities including Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Frisco, as well as Columbus, Ohio.
Tiles Workshop's inclusion in the passport program highlights the growing recognition of experiential learning and cultural arts education in Dallas's tourism landscape. The studio's workshops guide participants through the traditional technique of creating a Turkish lamp, providing all materials, step-by-step instruction, and complementary Turkish coffee, and baklava during the approximately two-hour sessions.
The studio's workshops require no prior artistic experience, making them accessible to visitors of all skill levels and backgrounds. Participants design and craft their own illuminated artworks using colorful glass tiles and traditional techniques that date back to the Ottoman Empire. Beyond its workshop locations, Tiles Workshop also offers DIY kits that allow customers nationwide to create Turkish mosaic lamps at home, expanding access to this traditional art form beyond the studio environment.
