For The Love

About For The Love

"For The Love" tells the story of one gallery that has kept Deep Ellum's creative spirit alive for twenty years — Kettle Art, the scrappy, beloved anchor of the neighborhood's art scene.

This is a book for anyone who loves Dallas, Deep Ellum, local art and  independent culture. It's also a book for the artists, collectors, and community members who lived it firsthand.

Written by Dallas author Jason Hensel, "For The Love" brings together first-person reflections, oral histories, archival and new photography, memorabilia, more than 30 artist profiles, and selected artworks — assembling a vivid portrait of the gallery's first two decades: its curatorial vision, community advocacy, and the artists it championed. Essays from writers, civic leaders, and longtime friends complete the story.
