Deep Ellum Foundation

A nonprofit organization

16% complete

$25,000 Goal

This year, the Deep Ellum Foundation is fundraising to revamp the Deep Ellum Art Park while simultaneously hosting a Deep Ellum Block Party. The Art Park, a vital gateway between downtown Dallas and Deep Ellum, is set to be transformed into a dynamic hub for art, community, and cultural heritage. The park, which hasn’t been refreshed in over 15 years, will undergo a complete makeover, including new murals, landscaping, and interactive elements. The fundraising efforts aim to breathe new life into this historic space, ensuring that art and creativity remain central to Deep Ellum’s growth and future.

Since its founding in 1873, Deep Ellum has been a place for ALL people to come together to live, work and pursue their passions. Those roots are still the lifeblood and source of inspiration driving the ever-evolving neighborhood today, making Deep Ellum perhaps the most sought-after destination in Dallas. 

Coming soon in 2024, we will have unforgettable events celebrating the history, present day and future of Deep Ellum. To make this year the best it can be for Dallas, contribute today!
