  • Summary

  • Frank Campagna has been a professional artist in the Dallas area since 1979. Campagna began his career in the music and nightclub industries, providing artwork for legendary, live music venues such as the Agora Ballroom, Starplex, Bronco Bowl, Verizon Theater, Gypsy Tea Room, and currently for House of Blues. He has also created on-demand works for acts such as the Rolling Stones, Guns & Roses, the Eagles, U-2, and Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame, as well as festivals such as Lollapolooza, SXSW, and Edgefest, for which he gained national exposure on MTV in the early 1990s. Campagna has been instrumental in the revitalization of the historic Deep Ellum neighborhood from an abandoned warehouse district to it's present day reputation as a mecca of art and music, beginning with hosting musical acts in his visual art studio in 1982. In 1993, 1994, 1999, and 2000, he led over 150 artists in the Good Latimer tunnel mural project. In the early 2000s, Campagna played a key role in negotiating the replacement of the Good Latimer tunnel on behalf of the neighborhood with Dallas Area Rapid Transit to create a 'new gateway' to Deep Ellum, resulting in the Traveling Man project. In 2005, Campagna founded Kettle Art Gallery, offering North Texas creatives a venue that is 'inclusive as opposed to exclusive' which continually mentors and introduces 'new blood' into our city's culture. In addition to the gallery, Campagna currently serves as an advisor to Foundation45, a project he initiated in 2011 to provide mental health services to creatives, and in 2017 and 2018 as a muralist in the Dallas in Prizzi project in Sicily.
