The area is a very eclectic and creative part of Dallas, as evidenced by the resurgence of the Bishop Arts District. Turner House was our first choice of venues for a show in Dallas. We met with Alfred Martinez, Executive Director of the OCSFA, and were excited to learn that he was also interested in hosting an art event at the Turner House. It has been a good fit for both of us and we hope to make this a regular event," Breedlove said.
