Deep Ellum History

If you find yourself in the Deep Ellum area, be sure to come check out this exhibit. Behind the Music (a history from 1980s-2000s): focus on 1990s currently.
The Deep Ellum Community Center is located at
2528 Elm Street, 1st floor
Wed-Sun 12noon to 7pm.

Remember when finding a show meant spotting a flyer on a telephone pole or hearing about it from a friend the night before… or getting a flyer in the mail? Yeah. That was a thing.

Deep Ellum in the 90s ran on word of mouth, packed rooms, and the promise that something loud and unforgettable was about to happen inside places like Trees, Club Dada, and Lizard Lounge. No feeds. No filters. Just the music and whoever showed up for it.

On March 13 from 4PM to 7PM, we’re opening Behind the Music: 90s at the Deep Ellum Community Center. Stop by during the opening and be among the first to be transported back to the era of DIY flyers, crowded stages, and nights that lived fully off screen.

After opening night, the exhibition will remain on view through June during regular Community Center hours, Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 7PM.
