“I didn’t set out to create a space that had a singular identity,” said LaRue. “Deep Ellum Art Co. represents as full a spectrum of the arts as our local artists bring to us. The goal is to promote all of the arts be it music, culinary, sculpture, 2D, 3D, digital and more.”
Once a printing press repair shop, and before that an auto parts and service center for a local dealership in the ’50s, the creative space includes an indoor and outdoor art gallery, a stage for live music and a nearly 60- foot bar. The 5,000 square foot building, built in 1949, is flanked by roughly 10,000 square feet of treed outdoor space.
Deep Ellum Art Co. has art on every wall space available on the property. With the spacious courtyard, we host a regular outdoor artist market. Additionally our gallery shows are curated by local artists from the DFW area. We host art classes for the public, and we encourage local artists to take advantage of the many vending opportunities that our event schedule provides.
“We all have to work to preserve the spirit of Deep Ellum. Creative spaces like this in the neighborhood are crucial to maintaining what makes Deep Ellum so special. It’s worth the effort required to pass this along to the next generation.” he said.“It’s our goal to continue to create a space that showcases local artists, a place where they can come together and work as a community and grow in their craft.”
