West Dallas’ contemporary artists’ quarter is situated three blocks from Trinity Groves restaurants & retail, tucked behind the Cypress urban community. Each year The WEST DALLAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE hosts a lively Open Studios event ‘ART WALK WEST’ alongside the WILD WEST MURAL FEST. renowned as the busiest and most exciting event on the arts calendar annually!
The Fabrication Yard
Street art and graffiti are prevalent in the TIN district, where virtually no surface is left untouched. This area showcases some of the most impressive spray paint murals around. The constantly changing nature of the art form means there's sure to be something striking and new with each visit.
Inspiration
Sweet Pass Sculpture Park
The exhibition’s title, Nearly Natural, is appropriated from the American company by the same name—a vendor of artificial, silk trees and hedges.
The exhibition unfolds with interplay between the digital and the physical; visibility and invisibility; tourism and residency; and the historical and personal.
NB: awaiting next exhibit release
