Call for Postcard Art!
East Dallas is full of inspirational spots that shape its identity, such as White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum. In addition to the hub of creativity that thrives in East Dallas, among the favorite restaurants and modern murals, there is also a rich history that appears in the unique architecture and trails that wind through tree-filled parks.
Whether it’s watching the sailboats from Winfrey Point, birdwatching by White Rock Lake, or the art deco architecture of the Bath House Cultural Center, we want to know what makes East Dallas special to you. It could even be a favorite coffee shop, or your own vision of the Lady of the Lake! Or your favorite neighborhood, such as Forest Hills, Little Forest Hills, Lakewood, Belmont, Junius Heights or Lower/Lowest Greenville to name just a few.
We are requesting original postcards created by you and inspired by your favorite spot or favorite experience in East Dallas, using the art medium of your choice.
Love writing? Write your East Dallas inspired poem on the postcard!
