Bishop Arts District, Dallas, Creative neighborhood in Oak Cliff, Dallas, United States.

The Bishop Arts District is a neighborhood in Oak Cliff featuring over 60 independent businesses including boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, and coffee shops spread across several blocks. The mix of retail and creative spaces creates an environment where you can wander and discover something new on each street.

Warehouses and shops were built here in the 1920s, and in the 1930s the trolley stop on Davis Street was Dallas's busiest. Decline set in from the mid-1960s through the early 1980s with the rise of shopping malls, the loss of tenants such as the Astor theater and Goodier Cosmetics, and the end of Oak Cliff's streetcar system. In 1984 Jim Lake began buying the run-down storefronts, providing a rent-free police storefront for a year.

The district's name comes from N. Bishop Avenue, where its storefronts cluster near Davis Street. Murals and brick pavers added during 1990s and 2000s renovations softened the look of the old 1920s warehouses. The Oak Cliff Film Festival has grown here, drawing coverage from Texas Monthly and The New York Times, and celebrities such as Dua Lipa and Leon Bridges have been spotted in the district.

The neighborhood is accessible throughout the week, with most shops and galleries open during daytime hours and into the evening. Plan to visit during afternoon or evening hours when most businesses are operating and the district feels most active.

A portion of the district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the North Bishop Avenue Commercial Historic District. The Mayor's House, former residence of Dallas mayor George Sergeant, also stands in the area.
