Deep Ellum art outlaws return to Main Street for Kettle Art Gallery exhibition
Eight original visual artists who helped define Deep Ellum's artistic rebirth in the 1980s are returning for a group exhibition titled "OGs Return to Deep Ellum" at Kettle Art Gallery in Dallas. The show, opening June 6 and running through August 16, features Bill Haveron, Brad Ellis, Brad Smith, Clay Austin, Dwayne Carter, Greg "Ozone" Contestabile, Thor Johnson, and gallery founder Frank Campagna, with tributes to the late Albert Scherbarth and David "Mosquito" Hawley. The exhibition highlights the neighborhood's visual identity, which was built through murals and street art that transformed a half-empty district into a cultural hub.
