Deep Ellum Welcomes New Artwork in Art Park
Dallas, TX – A Ribbon Cutting event will welcome the new public artwork to Deep Ellum’s Art Park on Saturday, September 12th. From 2-4 pm, the Deep Ellum Foundation invites artists, residents, and visitors to enjoy more than 30 new outdoor paintings. The concrete sculptures that have greeted visitors since the mid 90s have been repainted for the first time in over a decade.
Immediately following the DART Super Saturday event a few blocks over, the Deep Ellum Foundation will host the Art Park Ribbon Cutting. Art Park is located along Commerce Street, Canton Street, and Good Latimer Expressway under Interstate 75. Just walk across Good Latimer from Bark Park Central.
Soooo I (Jen Gassiraro)got selected to paint a on one of the sculptures for Deep Ellum Art Park! This was my first time painting outside and had a kick butt time doing it. I miss painting so much and enjoyed reconnecting while I created my mural outside. The mural took on many lifes, but finally I finished. I hope you enjoy it! Come by and take a look this Saturday from 2-4, there will be a ribbon cutting. Below are some images of me painting and the finished mural.

Oh, I like your finished piece! If I remember correctly, the previous paint job on that sculpture was HIDEOUS. Way to make that intersection 100x prettier!
