RE*COV*ER, a mural series project sponsored by the Deep Ellum Association and the Deep Ellum Foundation, embraces the new and changing face of Deep Ellum’s future. The theme, “RE*COV*ER,” speaks both to the recent history of the Deep Ellum tunnel and how artists have traditionally played a key role in the development of the neighborhood.

Deep Ellum has always prided itself on being an artist community and a collaborative environment. In reclaiming it’s artistic roots and a strong sense of community, there exists a respect for original works of art. Community leaders and neighborhood activists developed the idea for a mural series competition to assist in attracting artists from around the state and engaging them in the Deep Ellum community.
