Our Mission
The Deep Ellum Community Arts Fair seeks to promote the wide variety of artists, performers, and entertainers. Join us on the other side of the tracks for a weekend filled with curated exhibits, concerts, and food showcasing the genuine talent and businesses inside of our community.
Focused on locals
This Fair is committed to highlighting the businesses, culture, and art of our favorite place in the heart of Dallas. This party is focused on local, and will stay local. We want to offer opportunities and exposure to local and regional artists, musicians, and businesses.
We have a new layout running down Crowdus St. to bring more foot traffic to Deep Ellum businesses as opposed to blocking their doorways. Rather than turning to vendors from outside the neighborhood, we want to encourage attendees to explore Deep Ellum. This event is of the community, by the community, and for the community.
