The Loop Dallas announced the installation of two 180-foot long murals by six of Dallas’ best-known muralists: Mariell Guzman, Mari Pohlman, Alec DeJesus, Sam Lao, Hatziel Flores and queer artist Will Heron of Meow Wolf. “Our vision was to create an active transportation system connecting Dallas to Dallas.
The Loop Dallas is doing that by connecting our fragmented trail system and activating these public spaces by creating beautiful architecture, urban design and public art,” Jeff Ellerman, The Loop Dallas Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board said in a press release. “The Hi Line Connector is a one-mile urban trail that expands the iconic placemaking of the Katy Trail through Victory Park and the Design District and on to the Trinity Strand Trail.
