Come and enjoy the talented works of contemporary artists at this flourishing urban art venue located east of downtown Dallas in the Wilson Historic District. This local gallery has earned a place in the Dallas Art District that proudly presents up-and-coming talent. The exciting and fascinating exhibitions are the gallery's main attraction that features theme-based exhibits, solo artist masterpieces and a unique garden sculpture display.
Located in a 1916 warehouse for more than 20 years, 500X Gallery has pulsed with the energy and excitement of the local contemporary art scene. The Deep Ellum location is near Fair Park and has hosted the works of such emerging artists as Dorothy Duvall and Brian Bosworth. The gallery specializes in alternative art, including abstract psychedelia, neo-expressionism and conceptual art.
Valley House Gallery, with its sculpture garden that spans 5 acres (20,234 square meters), is located in North Dallas far from the usual art district traffic. Bought by artist Donald Vogel and his wife, Margaret, in 1954, this beautiful area still evokes a feeling of solitude. Their son, Kevin, currently owns and operates the gallery. The exhibit hall is always full and often must enlist the aid of the Dallas police to coordinate parking for events and showings. Valley House was the first gallery in the Southwest to be invited to join the Art Dealers Association of America. Admission is free.
