Deep Ellum Community Arts Fair 2027

The 5th Annual Deep Ellum Community Arts Fair is a community-driven 3-day event taking place the first weekend in April. Attendees have the chance to explore the vibrant and eclectic culture of Deep Ellum while supporting local and regional artists.

We invite artists of every medium to apply. Preference is given to local and greater Texas-based artists first. Artists from further away will be considerd upon demonstrating a meaningful connection to Deep Ellum .

By the Deep Ellum commUNITY for the Deep Ellum commUNITY:

The most exciting part of this event is that it is all grassroots—wanted and created by the Deep Ellum Community. We honor the Deep Ellum Arts Festival that took place for nearly 30 years, while holding space for artists within our community. Working with the neighborhood, this event highlights the small businesses and local talent who make Deep Ellum the Soul of Dallas.

This locally-produced event celebrates the artists who help define Deep Ellum as a creative and cultural hub, while welcoming artists from near and far away.

The event will be held over 3 days April 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2027 on Crowdus Street in Deep Ellum.
