Entry No. 23 — the Dallas file — filed under: loft apartment gallery
Nature of Things
A gallery tucked inside a brick-walled loft apartment in Deep Ellum, run by Tessa Granowski, who shows Texas artists overlooked by the city's museums and commercial galleries. Her pitch: 'If you're seeing how beautiful your own backyard is, you'll want to take care of it more.'
The move: Drop in Thursday-Saturday afternoon to see the current Texas-artists show in the loft, then bar-hop Deep Ellum afterward.
📍 Before you go This lives inside a Deep Ellum loft apartment, so the "A" in 3002A Commerce St. matters: look for the residential-style unit rather than a storefront window, and treat the space like someone's home, because it partly is. Art hangs throughout the living quarters, even the bathroom, so expect an intimate, small-scale visit rather than gallery sprawl. Afternoons on its open days are the move; weekends draw a few more browsers. Because it has shuffled addresses over zoning, confirm you're headed to the current spot before you drive. Park once and make a night of it: Deep Ellum's murals, bars, and restaurants are all within a short walk.
