Art at South Side

From the day South Side on Lamar opened its doors the Creatives have been part of the foundation for what it was to become. Noting that creative artisans have led the redevelopments of major urban areas around the world, Matthews Southwest established relationships with artists, filmmakers, writers, jewelry makers, architects, and interior designers. From the artists' perspective, to revitalize the soul of South Dallas, a living network of people from all backgrounds and walks of life must be part of the process. Read more...

The Janette Kenndy Gallery History and
Procedure to schedule an Art Exhibit

The Janette Kennedy Gallery, formerly the South Side Gallery, was established in 2002 as a means for local artists and the community at large to exhibit their works. This Gallery differs from other galleries in that it does not administer a fee for use of the space nor has it charged a commission on the pieces an artist sells. The Janette Kennedy Gallery gives the community artists the opportunity to express themselves, where they might otherwise have had a hard time finding exhibit space. It offers the professional artists and national exhibits a unique venue with character and energy in soulful South Dallas. Read more...

Paul Greco

By using cut-outs from early children’s books I try to portray how society in the 1960s would have reacted to events occurring in the world today. As a child, growing up in the 60s and 70s, life appeared simple and trouble-free. As I grew I realized this was not reality. I attempt to create a story or fairy-tale-like image emulating life as being as difficult and complicated in the past decades as it is today. In a way, they show an awakening of my childhood self as I realized more about the rest of the globe.

Rolando Diaz

In the discovery of life we find ourselves looking for the things we can relate to. It is this thought that becomes the basis for the work of Rolando Diaz, a native Cuban-American artist. Diaz believes that, "art is an expression of life". Everything we see, feel, touch, smell and hear, in one way or another, become part of the images expressed on the canvas.
