For all the artists and city officials working through code compliance and occupancy classification for art spaces and events: We are sure we can work this out with thoughtful listening and acknowledging the issues, concerns, and needs of all stakeholders. We at MILL RIVER ARTS are looking forward to working with the Fire Marshals' office and city officials to assure our patrons are kept safe while artists get to fully express and create.

Regardless of what initiated the recent vigilance for code compliance in Dallas, frustration and anger is misplaced when directed at the Fire Marshall. They are responsible to enforce codes to assure public safety and zoning compliance to reduce loss of life and property due to fire.

It seems there are issues with temporary use of spaces like loading docks, storefronts, and vacant structures that are falling through the cracks. With thoughtful feedback, the responsible department heads should be able to direct us to the proper procedure. Or...develop a new one so that artists can breathe life into such spaces.

Big changes are coming to Deep Ellum! Have you heard about Reimagine Crowdus? This September the Deep Ellum Foundation is transforming Crowdus Street into a pedestrian centric place with concerts, performances, and activities. And—MILL RIVER ARTS is proposing an art installation to activate an empty storefront window.

The long-term vision is to turn this experiment into a reality. That means a gathering space in Deep Ellum, more opportunities for events outside, and increased walkability. Ultimately, it’s more fun for our visitors and residents, not to mention more traffic for our businesses!
