In November 2015, Kettle Art was offered the opportunity to curate an exhibit to spotlight artists of Art Con 11 who caught our eye. The tricky part was selecting artists who had never before exhibited at our gallery. This exhibit is the result of that sneak peek of talent. This show runs through Saturday, January 30th.
Artists include:
Gina Benson
Sully Ridout
Jocelyn Garcia
Anne Marie Talon
Andrea Davis
Sierra Sintic
and more will be announced in the near future!

OUR GOAL: Raise $5000 to purchase two surgery tables and a wet prep table.
Ultimately, the sale of each small work will help bring new surgery tables and a wet prep table to our Spay / Neuter clinic and aid our mission to provide affordable Spay / Neuter and eliminate pet overpopulation in North Texas.
Each art work is no larger than 10 x 10 x 10 inches and will be sold at $100 to $300 each. The works include painting, photography and sculpture, exhibiting a dynamic range of interests, genres, materials and methods.
Can’t make the event? Please donate via our website. Any amount will help!
Featured artist, George Fowler, will create limited edition contour wire pet portraits on location for purchase Thursday night, January 7 from 7pm to 10pm.
Operation Kindness has also generously donated works from their last art exhibition. These works are beautiful and affordable at $15 to $40. 100% of the proceeds go to Spay Neuter Network.
In this season of joyous celebrations, Kettle Art presents Holiday Presence #11, the gallery’s annual art and gift show featuring small works and unique, artisan-crafted pieces made exclusively by local artists.
The exhibit runs through December 24. Watch for special announcements throughout the exhibit, artists collaborating on-site, updates on new items, impromptu parties, and extended hours.
Artists include Richard Ross, Judith Lea Perkins, Brad Albright, Steve & Erin Reeves, Clint Scism, Miguel Aguilar, Jennifer Gregory Portz, Micah Rabalais, Justin Clumpner, Frank and Amber Campagna, Nick Glenn and more, with most pieces $100.00 and under. In light of the holiday gift-buying season, all pieces are cash (or charge!) and carry.
Join us as we continue our mission of presenting the amazing local artists who make our art scene one of the most vibrant in the country!
Every now and then a show comes along that is incredible enough to warrant a closing party. Prism is one of those shows. Featuring nearly 400 works of art and hung as a massive visual spectrum, this show is a must see for anyone who loves any and every color.
In honor of Halloween, Deep Ellums favorite holiday, we will also be hosting a party for those who like to get dressed up and / or give their costume for the weekend a trial run. Prizes will be given for those who out stun the others in several categories.
Keeping It Real
September 10th – October 3rd
Kettle Art presents “Keeping It Real”, a mind-bending exploration of surrealism featuring works by four North Texas visual artists. The exhibit curated by Duke Horn opens on Thursday, September 10, at 7:00pm, and runs through Saturday, October 3rd.
From the emergence of Surrealism in the 1920s comes Duke Horn’s Magical Realism, the artist’s works over the past decade that examine a personal narrative inspired by fairground art and the midway of yesteryear.
Emily Broussard’s works intimate a conversation with one’s body, as represented in emotional overtones of poignant encounters with the outside world, revealing the innards of the human spirit.
Anya Bosworth’s playful creativity emerges as fantastical creatures in a parallel universe, expressing both the light and the dark of imaginative human counterparts from that 3-D world.
John Clapp envisions reality in a way only M.C. Escher could conceive. The artist’s hyper-realism is a trompe l’oeil smorgasbord of miniature worlds begging to be examined under a magnifying glass.
As Kettle’s Summer Salon comes to an end, Kettle comes out in full force during the month of September with plenty to do & see!

About Salim Nourallah
If a Beatle was left in the desert at age 3 and raised in El Paso, Texas, you’d have Salim Nourallah. Salim is a North Texas music scene fixture. After gaining initial acclaim with the Denton-based Nourallah Brothers he’s gone on to release a half dozen solo albums and produce a fine list of many others (including the Old 97s, Rhett Miller, Deathray Davies & the Damnwells). His solo debut Polaroid (2004) was met with reviews like this one:“discovering a singer-songwriter who can stop time is rare, but Salim Nourallah is such a find…” (Rolling Stone). Beautiful Noise followed in 2006 to more critical acclaim and Salim swept the Dallas Observer music awards with Best Album/Best Song and Best Producer. Salim went on to win 7 consecutive Observer Awards for Best Producer. His 5th solo cd, Hit Parade, was released in April 2012 by the German indie label, Tapete Records. Hit Parade garnered more favorable press like “Coupling catchy rock with mature but not old lyrics, Nourallah has assembled the best album of his career…” Salim’s most recent full-length record, Skeleton Closet, is slated for release later this year.
About Paul Slavens
Paul Slavens is well known in the North Texas area for his work as a multi-instrumentalist with bands like Ten Hands, the Baptist Generals and The Travoltas. He also frequently performs an Improvisational Musical Comedy show and won the 2011 Dallas Observer Music Award for Best Jazz Act, and the 2013 and 2014 Award for best Keyboardist. Paul is also well known for his radio program “The Paul Slavens Show” on KXT. He began doing his show on KERA in 2004 and the program has received awards from the Dallas Observer in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and has been nominated every year since 2005 for Dallas Observer Music Awards. As a composer his works have been performed at Museums in Dallas and Fort Worth, The McKinney Ave. Contemporary, and The Wylee Theater and the Grapevine Palace Theater.
