Oak Cliff Art Walk Volume 6<\/a> is this year\u2019s rendition of the annual, local art exhibition, taking place Oct. 24-25. Their slogan, \u201cWhere everybody is a somebody,\u201d reflects their commitment to the Dallas artist community. According to their website, \u201cThe Oak Cliff Art Walk is committed to lowering barriers to success in the arts\u2026creat[ing] opportunities for visibility, connection, and collaboration between artists, organizations, and the broader community.\u201d The organization doesn\u2019t charge for submissions, and artists will retain all the money from their sales \u2014 at prices they set.<\/p>\n

This year, the two-day exhibition will take place at East Dock, a historic 1915 warehouse originally built as an ice house and later used as an airplane manufacturing facility and a book factory. It sat unused for over a decade and is now being revitalized as a space for local businesses and organizations.<\/p>\n

The Art Walk is looking for a broad range of artists, artwork, mediums, perspectives, skills and ages in order to reflect the unique perspectives of the community. The exhibition is not theme-based, but they stated that as an organization grounded in the Dallas community, they do value work that offers a perspective on the experience of living in the city. Not to be taken so literally as a landmark or postcard-inspired setting, the Art Walk invites interpretations of the everyday moments that shape each artist\u2019s relationship with Dallas. They also explained in the submission guidelines that they \u201cencourage all styles and subjects, so don\u2019t feel constrained or overthink this aspect when selecting your work.\u201d They did specify that no performance art would be allowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe art can help people connect more deeply to the history, culture, and character of their neighborhood. By bringing together artists, local businesses, organizations, and residents, we hope to foster relationships that strengthen community and create a greater sense of belonging,\u201d their website reads. \u201cWe all need to touch grass a little more and get to know our neighbors!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"East Dock.
