2026 FAIR ARTISTS

Deep Ellum is bringing people together to connect over artistic expression, not just the mediums, but the motives and the stories that brought us to where we are today and where we will go tomorrow.

I have a passion to make my art accessible to everyone and Deep Ellum will allow me to do that. I have been traveling the country with my family on a mission to bring my art in person to people around the country, not just on social media. I am in a new city every weekend and I would love to bring my work to this event.

It is the exact place I think of when I think about becoming big in the art world.

The town/city of Deep Ellum means (to me) a great sense of hand made, punk-rock, colorful, do it yourself art community with deep roots of a do it yourself funky style.

A wonderful arts community, funky, creative, and full of energy. I've been a previous artist many years.

Having lived in Dallas since 2001, 13 years of which were in Little Forest Hills in East Dallas and 1 year in Deep Ellum, and working full time as a gigging musician for much of that time, I have spent countless hours in Deep Ellum making music and maneuvering that scene, Deep Ellum had a lot to do with my development as an artist.

I have been going to deep ellem since I was a teenager 20 years ago. I have watched this area grow and change over time in amazing ways. It has continued to be a haven for artist, great food, and a gathering place for music lovers. My first artshow in over 15 years took place at the Deep Ellum Art Co for the Pancake and Booze Art Show and that has set ne on this path of renewed passion for sharing my art.

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.

I have always loved the artistic energy that is Deep Ellum, the hum of creativity and feeedom of expression that permeates in the atmosphere all around.

Unity. Come one, come all. Deep Ellum has always been a safe zone for flying my creative spirit. It is a place that embraces and encourages everyone to step a little out of their day to day comfort zones and support each others art. From a young age I enjoyed concerts, art festivals, and great food in Deep Ellum! It is the CULTURE of Dallas, Texas to me.

I have lived in Dallas over 20 years and in my youth I went to Deep Ellum to dance all night! Now I go for the food and the art.
