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!

Home, art and diversity.

I am not from Texas. When I first got here I spent I whole year out of place. The first art show I ever did was in Deep Ellum- Deep Ellum helped me feel connected here in Texas. I continue to be astounded by the kindness and selflessness I get met with every time I go to into Deep Ellum. For a show or otherwise. I know if I need help with something, someone there will have my back. The sense of community is there.

Its a place where alternative art is valued and appreciated

I am Deep Ellum.

As an European immigrant/African American couple we feel connected to Deep Ellum in the long history of intersectionality of our two cultures and in the rich musical legacy created by them. For us, New Orleans and Deep Ellum are kindred spirits and keepers of the soul of America. Having participated in 2 Deep Ellum editions, one with the old organization and last year with the new, I've experienced the unique nature of the neighborhood that with New Orleans make up a rare phenomena in the United States.

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

Deep Ellum is a part of Texas with so much soul. Deep Ellum drives to maintain and grow the arts in this vibrant community. Deep Ellum offers a space for new and recurring artists to showcase art. Keeping the culture and the vibe stronger than ever in the great state of Texas.

I have lived in the Dallas area my whole life. We started going to Deep Ellum back in the 80's when it first became club, restaurant and shopping destination. Through the years I have been in Deep Ellum for concerts, meals and shopping. Have done quite a few projects down there when I was in the construction business. Recently I have been showing art there as well. Just a great place for many things.

I just moved to Dallas a couple years ago and initially moved just a block away from Deep Ellum, because I love the diversity, energy, the events, restaurants, and music. I feel like it’s a central gathering place for anybody and everybody of every background and ethnicity. I love it! I look forward to the art, events and galleries. I like the exposure that it gives to all types of artist on every level.

Community. Home. Culture and roots

it's a fun community and a solid place where I spent a lot of time running around in my 20s going to shows and finding new bars to hang out in.

It is the heartbeat of acceptance and love for all things art related in the Dfw area.
