Yesterday my wife and I made it over to the Design District - one of Dallas' most unique neighborhoods. The Design District is only a few blocks, yet it's packed to the brim with contemporary art galleries, unique home furnishing & rennovation stores, and a few very creative restaurants.
The art galleries in the Design District are a well-oiled machine. They often partner with each other to showcase their opening receptions on the same night so that patrons can walk from one gallery to another and make a night of it. Every time I've been to their opening receptions, the galleries have been teeming with people.
Gallery Day was more of a relaxed pace than the opening reception nights, but there was still a good crowd out. I saw some of my old favorites like Craighead Green Gallery, Conduit, and PDNB, and experienced some new galleries like Circuit 12 Contemporary, Red Arrow Contemporary, and the huge warehouse space of the Dallas Contemporary. Here are just a few pics from the impressive showing:
