Explore Deep Ellum's Most Instaworthy Murals
Deep Ellum 丰富的文化纽带和艺术根基使其成为城市艺术的圣地。
Just east of Downtown Dallas, Deep Ellum has quickly become a hotspot for those looking to jam out to the live music, enjoy dinner with friends or capture the perfect picture at one of the many murals that are scattered throughout the neighborhood.
Through a special initiative led by 42 Real Estate owner, Scott Rohrman, Deep Ellum has quickly resurfaced in the arts community, creating murals by locals and national artists. The 42 Murals project has inspired other artists to showcase their work on the walls all around Dallas.
With our shoelaces tied tight and our Instagram apps opened, we set out to discover the most unique murals around. Here's a look at what we saw along the way, including a few spots that you may have never seen before.
