The Deep Ellum Community Association is proud to announce the "TunnelVisions 2014" mural unveiling, awards presentation, and live auction on May 17, 6pm - 10pm, at 2625 Main Street in Deep Ellum, TX.

Throughout the weekend of the Deep Ellum Arts Festival in April 2014, mural artists from across the city were assigned 4-hour time slots to paint 4' x 8' panels, to be attached to a 12' wide, 8' tall, 32' deep, pop-up, walk-through TUNNEL, invoking the old Good Latimer TunnelVisions project.
