Visit The Murals

Vivid, eye-catching, and sometimes whimsical, each of Mesquite’s brand-new murals inspires a sense of wonder. Found at Front Street Station, these eight 7-by-10-foot works of art were chosen among 40 submissions by amateur and professional artists, as well as students. The result has transformed the area into a sprawling outdoor gallery that you’ll want to take your time exploring.

March 2025

Phil Samson | Synapse Synchronicity

January 20, 2025, 8:00 AM - March 21, 2025, 5:00 PM @ Mesquite Arts Center

Please join the Mesquite Arts Council as they welcome North Texas artist Phil Samson to the Mesquite Arts Center's main gallery. [Synapse Synchrocity] exhibition presents wall sculptures referencing imagined abstracted hybrid biological forms. Phil Samson created these sculptures while interacting with the plant genetic engineers at the University of North Texas' BioDiscovery Institute. Some viewers' analytical and creative thinking might be activated to generate new cerebral synapse connections that can help resolve the sculpture's identity, actual scale, and possible purpose. For others, these sculptures appear as unknowable abstractions that can both enliven and reflect their environment.

January 20, 2025, 8:00 AM - March 21, 2025, 5:00 PM @ Mesquite Arts Center

Our goal is to share our work and knowledge with our community through workshops, artist talks, murals, and projects that inspire the next generation. Write Handed is an extension of The Sour Grapes Collective.
