50 Year JFK Anniversary

The Dallas Love Project

Dallas has been transformed into one giant art gallery with 30,000 pieces of art inspired by the words of great peacemakers, poets, artists and musicians. Created by the people of Dallas, this remarkable project will redefine the city through a genuine outpouring of love -- a true reflection of the character and courage of a remarkable city. The art will be displayed along the JFK motorcade route and all across Dallas through the anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination, November 22, 2013.
