tinsel: a Drive-Thru Immersive Holiday Art Experience is like nothing you’ve seen before. This free, family-friendly show takes place in West Dallas and combines art, music, and technology for an urban art experience that is fresh and new.

On Friday, December 18th and Saturday, December 19th folks can enjoy tinsel for free from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The tinsel experience includes 12 original murals inspired by the Twelve Days of Christmas complete with a laser tunnel, projectors, and sculptural installations.

The show happens in the heart of the Tin District and Fabrication Yard near Trinity Groves. The murals stretch down the block on either side of the road. Folks are welcome to come before the show and walk around the exhibition. Many of the murals are lit with projectors and lights that make the art come to life.
