We all know that Dallas has a vibrant art scene — and we’re not just talking about Dallas Museum of Art or Dallas Contemporary. One of our all-time favorite galleries? Dallas itself.
The Big D is home to a number of meaningful murals and street art pieces. Today, we’re sharing where to find pieces that really paint a picture of our city.

Heyyy — we recognize that building. This sweet mural, featuring a mockingbird, cacti, and the Dallas County Courthouse now dons the side of The Quad in Uptown.

Keep this one flagged for the next time the Mavs kick some serious basketball tush.
“I love you!,” 2912 Elm Street | By Dusty Gilpin

Flea Style Rainbow, 3009 Commerce St. | By Grace Dille

Horses, 409 S. Second St. | By FAILE
This mural was part of Brooklyn-based art group FAILE’s collection called “Where Wild Won’t Break.” And we just have to say that we would very much like to nap in the sun on our own cute horse.
