Creating corridors to culture, commerce, and creativity

While Duncanville’s other creative areas and cultural assets enhance its livability and economic vitality, they may not align with the Texas Commission on the Arts’ definition of a cultural district. Arts in Our Park supports Armstrong Park as a cultural hub that already meets the Commission’s criteria, making it an ideal candidate for district designation. To extend the district’s benefits without expanding its official boundaries, Arts in Our Park introduces "cultural corridors"—placemaking and venture development strategies that drive redevelopment, attract new businesses, and activate public spaces. These corridors link Armstrong Park & Cultural District to nearby areas, fostering revitalization through partnerships with arts organizations, residents, property owners, developers, and local businesses. This approach amplifies reciprocal positive impacts while maintaining boundaries and preserving a strong application for cultural district designation.
