Stream Trace Walk

In-person and open to the public. $5 for Members and students. $10 for non-members. Spaces are limited. Advance registration required.
Artist Mary Miss’s commissioned installation, Stream Trace: Dallas Branch Crossing (2023), is a site-specific sculpture that follows the path of a buried stream passing beneath Nasher Sculpture Center. The artwork, a series of reflective X’s on stakes, originates within the garden walls of the museum and extends into area neighborhoods through participatory walks.
Dallas-based artists, writers, historians, and scientists will lead walking tours that loosely follow the original path of the Dallas Branch–a small stream that was encased in concrete and built over sometime in the early 20th century. The Dallas Branch originates in the present-day neighborhood of Uptown Dallas and outfalls at the Trinity River in the Design District. Participants in each walk will have the option to walk from the Nasher Sculpture Center toward the Dallas Branch’s origin point or from the Nasher toward the outfall near the Trinity River.
Each tour will last approximately 1.5 hours. Participants are encouraged to bring a bicycle, use public transportation, or arrange a ride if they need to return to a vehicle at the walk’s point of origin. This is a rain or shine event but may be canceled in the case of extreme or threatening weather.
