Art, love and magic are three simple words that mean recognition for nearly one thousand local artists and musicians.
“There is an amazing wealth of talent and bands in Dallas, in every genre you can imagine,” said Founder of ArtLoveMagic Michael Lagocki. “I think there’s a staggering amount of undeveloped talent out here and I would like to expose more people to it and strengthen it.”
An organization in Deep Ellum known as ArtLoveMagic has been positively impacting the artistic community since 2007.
“I want to make artists sustainable and feel better and be involved in good things and be blessing the areas that they live in,” said Lagocki.
Eddie Walker, air-brush artist and creator of the mural called, “She is Deep Ellum, Texas” is grateful to the dedication shown by ArtLoveMagic.
“ArtLoveMagic has simply given the artist a avenue to break into what they want to do in their art, in their field and from there we’ve seen many people take that opportunity and just run with it,” said Walker.
On the first Friday of every month ArtLoveMagic hosts a live art and open mic night that takes place in Deep Ellum and is open to anyone who is interested.
“Artists are weird people by tradition and it’s just who we are,” said Lagocki. “When you get a bunch of us in the room together and you take down the fences amazing things happen.”
