As we celebrate Dallas Art Fair this week, we’re excited to show off our partnership with Nasher Public to bring public art and culture to Dallas’ expanding trail system.
Beverly Pepper’s Dallas Pyramid on the Hi Line Connector
Marking the first installation of this collaboration, Dallas Pyramid (1971), an angular steel sculpture by renowned artist Beverly Pepper, can now be seen on the Hi Line Connector through the spring of 2026.

It’s incredible to see The Loop Dallas come to life with art in public spaces, especially along the Hi Line Connector with the addition of this stunning sculpture by such a distinguished artist as Beverly Pepper. When our Board first envisioned The Loop Dallas 10 years ago, the goal was to create an active transportation system that connected Dallas’ fragmented trail network and also provided beautiful public spaces with art, architecture, and design that resonated with the culture of our city. This artwork truly brings that vision to life, enhancing the trail and enriching the community in ways that will inspire and engage trail users.
Great cities are defined by their public spaces, and we’re thrilled to be in partnership with Nasher Public and to see the first of these trails take shape as The Loop Dallas becomes the legacy asset we always envisioned. The Hi Line Connector is the perfect place for this sculpture, creating an inviting, walkable, and bikeable corridor that not only enhances the trail experience but also supports our larger vision of connecting nature, recreation, and culture in a way that will inspire future generations.
The installation is made possible by the generous support of private donors, including Jeff Ellerman’s family and long-time friend and Loop Co-Founder Larry Dale. The sculpture is generously loaned by James Barron Art.
We’re also excited to announce the opening of Ellerman Plaza, located on the Hi Line Connector as well. This beautifully inviting seating area for trail users is dedicated to the work and commitment of The Loop Dallas Co-Founder and Board Chairman, Jeff Ellerman. Stop by the plaza after viewing Dallas Pyramid to enjoy the shade of the beautiful live oaks along the median.
Join us as we celebrate these milestones and continue to transform Dallas into a city known for its public spaces.
As always, we sincerely appreciate your support.
