ALL-CITY DREAMS March 7 – April 10, 2026 ALL-CITY DREAMS is a solo exhibition by Dallas local artist, Ray Albarez. The exhibition invites visitors into a fully immersive graffiti experience, transforming the gallery into a vibrant urban landscape where street art is not only legal but curated to perfection. This exhibition reimagines graffiti as a dynamic cultural force, blending two and three-dimensional works together that celebrate its visual energy and performative nature. At its core, the installation emphasizes community and highlights graffiti’s inherent role as a collective expression and a shared creative act that thrives in public spaces, inviting viewers to reconsider perceptions on the misunderstood medium. Ray Albarez, a self-taught artist from Dallas, Texas, has built a reputation as a graffiti artist, curator, and toy design engineer. Beginning his craft on city surfaces during high school, Ray later studied drafting in technical college but remained devoted to graffiti and painting. He co-founded the renowned Trigger Fingers event. His murals appear throughout the Dallas metroplex and internationally in London, Paris, and Spain.

Kinship: The Perspective of Place and Experience

March 7 – April 10, 2026

These works explore how people, nature, and culture intersect to create a sense of belonging, fostering kinship between communities across borders.

Yasmin Ramirez is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores landscapes and environments shaped by memory and experience.
