About this Event

Common Ground: Soccer Balls on Acrylic by Stewpot Artists

Dallas welcomed the world this summer for the world's biggest football tournament, and Common Ground gave visitors a chance to see some of the city's most talented artists — neighbors who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness, and for whom the studio is both a creative outlet and a source of real income. By popular demand, the exhibition is extended through August 19.

Five Spaces

Goals for Good — Soccer balls painted on round acrylic. Vibrant, one-of-a-kind pieces available to purchase. Pick up at The Stewpot by August 19 during regular gallery hours. International visitors may arrange shipping.

Seen — A portrait gallery celebrating the faces and cultures that make up Dallas and the world. Every piece available for purchase.

The Collection — Three color-curated gallery rooms presenting original works across a range of subjects and styles by Stewpot neighbor artists. A connecting hallway features Dallas landmark and cityscape paintings. Every piece throughout the exhibition is available for purchase.
