CorinthPark

Herschel Alan Weisfeld's "CorinthPark," located at 1837 Corinth, at Park Avenue in the Cedars is just two blocks from Dallas Heritage Village and is another venture supporting the local artistic/creative community from a bohemian perspective. CorinthPark is a mixed use Creative/Live/Work Space with exhibition areas, studios and workshops as well as housing. This is a balance to "SOTA", Weisfeld's ‘State of the Art' building, which is a mixed use work space within a museum/gallery environment and the Sara Ellen & Samuel Weisfeld Performing Arts and Conference Center which is an award winning performing arts facility in Downtown Dallas. He is also the only two-time award winner in the history of Preservation Dallas for his adaptive reuses of older buildings for which CorinthPark is a prime example. Herschel, an extensive art collector is the former Vice-Chair of the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs and also sat on the City's Public Art Committee. Details of the show and driving directions are available at www.CorinthPark.org.

Sarah Jane Semrad has owned and operated several entrepreneurial art ventures since 2003 in Dallas including IR Gallery and Pigeon-Stone Project. Currently she board president for The Art Conspiracy and executive director of La Reunion TX, a non-profit artist residency forming in Oak Cliff. Sarah Jane is the original curator for CorinthPark and after curating exhibits the past few years, it was time to mentor more and curate less. FUNCTION is an independently produced art show that further realizes Semrad's vision of making the art scene in Dallas interesting and accessible.
