Since 2005 Kettle Art has been the unofficial Deep Ellum Cultural Center, hosting art, photo and spoken word events. We've also been known to hold occasional music and film events as well. Drop in if you're out!
Kettle Art was founded in 2005 in historic Deep Ellum, one of Texas' most culturally significant entertainment districts established in the late 19th century. Throughout the past decade, the gallery has remained committed to the support and encouragement of emerging and mid-career North Texas artists by providing a relaxed and welcoming environment for both creatives and art patrons.
In 2013, Kettle relocated from its original venue on Elm St. to the present, larger venue on Main St., both doubling in exhibition space and expanding the scope of its dedicated mission.
As a testament to the many talented, local artists who have collectively formed the core of the gallery, Kettle has been the recipient of numerous awards and designations including: USA Today's 10 Best Art Galleries in Dallas; Dallas Observer's Readers' Choice for Best Art Gallery; and Dallas A-List's Best Art Gallery. In August 2014 in celebration of D Magazine's 40th anniversary, Kettle's founder Frank Campagna was named one of "The Dallas 40", a list recognizing Dallas citizens who have made a remarkable impact on the city.
