Visit The Murals

Vivid, eye-catching, and sometimes whimsical, each of Mesquite’s brand-new murals inspires a sense of wonder. Found at Front Street Station, these eight 7-by-10-foot works of art were chosen among 40 submissions by amateur and professional artists, as well as students. The result has transformed the area into a sprawling outdoor gallery that you’ll want to take your time exploring.

    January 22, 2024, 8:00 AM - March 16, 2024, 5:00 PM

    Main Gallery

    Kim Cadmus Owens grew up in Texas, studied fine art on both coasts and Japan, and returned to Dallas in 2006. Upon her arrival, she faced a city evolved. Recollecting Dallas architecture and other environs, her paintings and drawings convey a moment of retrospect and depict vernacular spots hovering between past and present. Owens recently stated, “Drawing is a materialization of my thoughts, memories, dreams, and even nightmares that allows me to process and consider their significance. Subjects that repeatedly enter my mind or that appear while I move through landscapes are the catalysts for all of my work.“
