2024 FAIR ARTISTS

Texas is my birth state and I love coming back home. My hubby is also an artist and we live in Arkansas. We have totally enjoyed coming back home and participating in the Deep Ellum Arts Festival...we have received so much support from everyone and the show is always a huge success for both of us.

A hub for a wide and celebrated variety of arts and entertainment!

Everything! Being a Dallas native and artist it provided inspiration and blessed me with opportunities.

Community. Home. Culture and roots

I moved to Texas when I was 15, Deep Ellum is a big part of my life. I grew up going to the midnight coffee shop and attending concerts and art shows. It is a staple of Dallas and I would love to be part of the art festival.

Deep Ellum is it’s own style, vibe and history. Eccentric place in the middle of Dallas

To me Deep Ellum is a special place full of art and soul. It’s my favorite place to go when I’m in Dallas. I love the cool and vibrant ambiance and I always have a lot of fun there. I love the shopping, the food and live music.

Deep Ellum will always be home and a huge part of my life and livelihood

Deep Ellum has always been the hub of artistic creativity for DFW and that buzz and community is what draws me to this show. The culture and history is so enriching and encouraging to me as a new artist.

I have been going to Deep Ellum for many years. I have watched my kid's friends perform with their bands, eaten great food in a beautifully eclectic environment (loved Monica's Aca y Alla and miss it) and just love the atmosphere.

The world. I've been a patron since the late '90s, early 00s, and have lived and worked here for over 10 years. I cut my teeth at The Church, Trees, Curtain Club, Galaxy Club... oh and my mom lived here for a while in the same lofts I'm in now. The best chicken fried steak is at AllGood Cafe, and I will die on that delicious hill.

I live in north Dallas but I teach in south Dallas. Deep Ellum has always been this creative middle ground between that inspires and draws creatives to it. I am grateful for the space that deep Ellum gives its artists and creatives. I am grateful for experiencing that space.

Deep Ellum is where I began to nurture my craft as an artist. I've established meaningful connections with numerous exceptional businesses and have taken the initiative to organize art-related events within the DE community. This neighborhood plays a significant role in my artistic journey. I will always hold a deep appreciation for the experiences and growth it has afforded me.
