An Evening on Common Ground
About this Event
The gallery is staying open late one more time. The DJ's back. And Dallas is invited again.
An Evening on Common Ground is a free celebration at The Stewpot's Common Ground: Dallas Welcomes the World art exhibition. Join us on Thursday, August 13 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM for an evening of music, refreshments, giveaways, and original artwork created by Dallas neighbors who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness.
Five spaces will be open for the full event:
Goals for Good — Soccer balls painted on round acrylic. Each one available for purchase.
Seen — A portrait gallery celebrating the faces and cultures that make up Dallas and the world.
The Collection — Three color-curated rooms of original work across a range of subjects and styles, with a connecting hallway of Dallas landmark and cityscape paintings.
Every piece throughout the exhibition is available for purchase. The gallery storefront will also be open with Dallas art prints, postcards, magnets, keychains, and coasters. Every purchase supports the artists directly.
This is a free, open-door event. All are welcome, whether this is your first visit to Common Ground or you were here for the first evening celebration in July and want to come back and bring a friend.
Reservations are requested so we can plan accordingly. Walk-ins welcome as space allows.
