Exhibition: SPACE at Adolphus Tower, a partnership between Dallas College, FGIII Fine Art Productions, Hoque Global, and Downtown Dallas, Inc., is proud to present Proximity: Emerging Voices in Sculpture, an exhibition organized by the International Sculpture Center (ISC) featuring works from the 2025 recipients of the Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award. This national showcase coincides with the ISC’s 31st International Sculpture Conference: Shaping Opportunities for Change, held in Dallas October 23–27, 2025.
The featured works explore interconnectivity and intimacy within the human experience, engaging with interpersonal and environmental space as forms of communication and record. Since its founding in 1994, the ISC award has honored exceptional student sculptors across the United States, recognizing their innovation and encouraging their continued commitment to the field.
Proximity brings together a new generation of sculptors whose practices reflect bold investigations into material, form, and meaning. Collectively, their works highlight the ways sculpture can both respond to and reshape our understanding of the spaces we inhabit, personal, social, and ecological.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, October 24th, or visit the exhibition through November 21st by appointment.

Downtown Dallas, Inc. has partnered with FGIII Fine Art Productions to secure building locations throughout Downtown Dallas for large-scale digital and painted murals. The Downtown Dallas Mural Initiative will provide building owners and businesses with a direct opportunity to invest in our art community and transform our Downtown Dallas visual landscape. DDI & FGIII will collaborate with experienced muralists, painters and graphic artists to create building-specific themed mural designs and concepts.
The Downtown Dallas Mural Initiative is transparently committed to supporting Dallas artists. Our mission revolves around providing artists with legitimate opportunities that foster their artistic development and amplify the value derived from their work.
DDI and FGIII are collaborating with multiple building owners to determine mural locations and project budgets to produce wow-factor visuals that will ultimately transform and beautify our Downtown Dallas!
“Our initiative presents a fantastic opportunity, across key city locations throughout Downtown Dallas, to feature DFW's diverse artistic community by collaborating with visual artists on public art projects like murals for walls, buildings, crosswalks & intersections, digital art for window vinyl-wraps and more.”
“We are more than a “gallery”… We’re a diverse interactive community SPACE meant to educate and empower our next generation of artists.”
SPACE at Adolphus Tower, located in “the heart of Downtown Dallas” at the corner of Main St & N. Akard St., launched in September 2023. SPACE serves as a dynamic platform connecting Dallas College's School of CAED with the Dallas art community, cultivating opportunities for student artists across multiple disciplines such as painting, photography, sculpture, fashion, and digital art.
Through a strategic partnership with Hoque Global, Downtown Dallas, Inc., the Dallas College Gallery Program, and FGIII Fine Art Productions, the initiative curates exhibitions, events, and interactive activations that provide students with valuable exposure, mentorship from established artists, and a professional gallery environment. SPACE aims to nurture emerging talent, enhance community engagement, and strengthen Dallas's vibrant creative ecosystem.
