are over 100 live performances nightly. The Dallas
Museum of Art, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony
Center, and the Nasher Sculpture Center are part
of the Dallas Arts District. The
60-acre development is the largest downtown arts
district in the country. With 336 park facilities

treasured White Rock Lake.
The Neighborhood Touring Program is funded by
the City of Dallas through the Office of Cultural
Affairs. The NTP invites you to come and explore
samples of authentic performances, workshops and
artist-in-residence programs. View live demonstrations
by over 60 visual and performing artists representing
Dallas' diverse cultural communities. Enjoy traditional
music and dance from Spain, Mexico, Africa and
the Phillipines. Visit with painters, sculptors,
weavers and storytellers to discuss your specific
program needs. A mile east of the School Book
Depository in downtown Dallas lies a section of
the city called Deep Ellum, a mottled array of
old brick structures, where wild graffiti and
gaudy murals decorate the walls of trendy shops,
loft apartments, restaurants, nightclubs, art
galleries, and tattoo studios. Deep
Ellum is an entertainment and arts district on
Elm Street east of downtown Dallas in Dallas County.

The area was settled as a
"freedmens' town" by former slaves after
the Civil War;qv its location on Elm Street,
just east of the Houston and Texas Central
tracks near the depot, was too far from
downtown Dallas to be desirable. The area
was called Deep Elm or, as early residents
pronounced it, "Deep Ellum." Because of
the proximity of the railroad it was also
called Central Track.
