The church will now serve as a center for local artists to show their work.
PUBLISHED 9:51 AM CDT Jul. 15, 2022DALLAS — In the Oak Cliff community, a historic church that was slowly falling apart is being retooled to build a space for creators.
Eventually, Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church took over the church in the mid-1960s. Now, Ramler and the other owners are looking to preserve the structure of the building. “Office, retail and a theater space that can be used by community theater, acting, dancing, comedy, educational events,” Ramler noted. , as the building is now known, held one of its first exhibits on July 9. The Art Walk and Open House hosted more than 30 local artists, bringing in nearly a thousand event goers. Dallas artists including Rosalia Salazar, Darin Triplett and Braulio Lazon-Conde were in attendance, getting the chance to show off their work.
Lazon-Conde found inspiration from the restoration of this historic church itself, hand carving into the pew wood and recreating the iconic lighthouse in front of the building. All three local artists say the Oak Cliff community is near and dear to their heart. Salazar understands the significance of maintaining these historic buildings.
