Our Story

Some of the best art in Dallas comes from the last place you'd look.

The Stewpot runs a professional art studio in Dallas where neighbors experiencing homelessness make work that belongs in any gallery in this city. Some of it is in this shop. Every sale pays the artist and every purchase supports The Stewpot's work stabilizing Dallas neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty.

This is Dallas. Painted, drawn, and printed by neighbors who see it up close.

The work in this shop reflects this city the way only an insider with a unique perspective can. Not necessarily a cliche postcard version. But a real one. Neighborhoods, streets, color, and light that you recognize if you know Dallas and discover if you don't.

Here's what happens when you buy something.

The artist who made it earns a royalty from every sale. The rest supports The Stewpot's work with Dallas neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty. That's it. No complicated giving model. Just art worth buying that does something real when you do.

The Stewpot has been part of Dallas since 1975.

Meals, social services, health care, and yes, a professional art studio. The Stewpot has been walking alongside neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty in Dallas for decades. Art from the Heart of Dallas is one part of that work. thestewpot.org is where you can find the rest of it.
