What does it mean to dream in the American Dream City? Created in celebration of Arlington’s 150th birthday, Dylan Kennedy’s Dream explores this question through a vibrant, comic-book-inspired scene.

The word “DREAM” appears in colorful speech bubbles in 150 languages, bringing many expressions of a shared idea into one artwork. Each language offers a different way to say the word, while the message remains familiar: the hope of imagining something more for ourselves and our community...

Fort Worth's booming mural scene has spread across the city. From artwork exhibiting the cities historic western ties, modern abstract pieces perfect for #selfies, to social commentary on current events, murals that adorn Fort Worth's urban landscape offer artistic escapes.

In 2016, the Texas Commission on the Arts named Downtown the official Arlington Cultural District. The sparkle had become a beacon. Downtown Arlington, now a celebrated cultural tourism destination, was full of new possibilities.

As the steward for the new cultural district designation, DAMC began seeking ways to build on the creative momentum within the district by attracting new talent and investment. From these efforts, the Downtown Arlington Urban Art Movement was born.
