Texas artist Frank <strong>Campagn</strong>a has been painting in the Dallas area since 1979. Having cut his teeth doing so via the music &amp; nightclub industries, Campagna has provided artwork for legendary live music venues such as the <strong>Agora Ballroom, Starplex, Bronco Bowl, Verizon Theater, House of Blues</strong> and <strong>Gypsy Tea Room</strong>, which offered Frank the ability to create over 1,000 murals with100% artistic freedom. The artist has also created on demand works for acts such as the <strong>Rolling Stones, Guns &amp; Roses, the Eagles, U-2</strong> and <strong>Roger Waters of Pink Floyd</strong> fame as well as festivals such as <strong>Lollapolooza, SXSW and Edgefest</strong>, for which the artist gained national exposure on <strong>MTV</strong> in the early 1990's.

Considered by many to be 'the <strong>Godfather of Deep Ellum</strong>' the artist helped develop this area from an abandoned warehouse district to it's present day reputation, by hosting musical acts in his visual art studio from 1982 - 1986. In 1993, 1994, 1999 and 2000 Frank led over 35 artists, each time, in the mural painting of the <strong>Good Latimer tunnel</strong>.

"Frank Campagna is a fixture in Dallas whose murals are as recognizable as his scratchy voice. But he also has made an artistic mark with Deep Ellum's Kettle Art gallery, which offers a quiet escape amid the entertainment district's music venues." — <em>USA Today</em> 7 / 27/ 2012
