When?
Where?
The Tin District, Nestled in West Dallas between the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and Sylvan Avenue, adjacent to Trinity Groves, is the Tin District which offers an eclectic mix of art studios, project and gallery spaces providing affordable spaces for Dallas' burgeoning creative community.
Come join the celebration and view over 35 private artist studios, 4 galleries, the Fabrication Yard (our graffiti park), and multiple new murals. Experience our sculpture park, performers on our main stage and an interactive art experience.
With a variety of self-contained spaces as well as semi-open places shared by groups of artists, there’s a strong community atmosphere that has evolved organically in response to artists’ changing needs. Studios come in a wide range of sizes and are suitable for a wide range of different practices.
If you are a creative practitioner or an arts organization looking for space, new applicants are welcomed for artists, designers, and/or makers interested in applying for one of our creative workspaces.
