What kind of environment is this where every artist is different from the next and yet all seem part of the same fabric? For decades upon decades, members of the Deep Ellum neighborhood have been exposed to old urban ambiences, have rubbed against great works of art and welcomed aficionados of blue hues and blue tunes alike. The Continental Gin Building accommodates artists of many disciplines and the community within promotes, inspires, encourages and supports the arts and creative design. In this unimposing brick structure, a national landmark, artists build visual literacy in an environment that stands tall on history, emotion and the development of great creative ideas.
Throughout its well worn halls, visitors to the space can find purposeful art and design with a view toward history, a willingness to embrace risk and a commitment to contemporary craftsmanship, quality and excellence. In a world where the creative spring is a mere trickle, where reruns, revivals, retrospectives and the re-coloring of classics more and more seem to be the standards of success in artistic endeavors, it is refreshing and inspiring to see fresh, innovative ideas born within the halls of the Continental Gin Building -- ideas that are impacting Deep Ellum, Dallas, and the world beyond.
The artists of the Continental Gin look forward to your active participation in their events and those in the Deep Ellum neighborhood and hope your attention is drawn to the workings of the artist in universal terms.
