The Cedars Union is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit arts organization located in the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, TX.[1] Their mission is to "provide resources including studios, tools, programs, and pro-bono services for creatives, foster a collaborative and supportive artist community, and advance the arts in North Texas."[2] The Bowdon Family Foundation bought the Boedeker Building, the eventual property for The Cedars Union, in 2014.[3]

The Boedeker Building[]
The Cedars Union plans to eventually expand into the Boedeker Building, originally an ice cream plant.[3] The Boedeker Building is sometimes used to host events such as Art Conspiracy and SOLUNA. Their May 2018 collaboration with SOLUNA featured interdisciplinary artist and former professional figure skater Jennifer Wester in her piece titled Breaking Shadows. [4] In 2020, Erika Jaeggli's exhibition, Flesh & Bone, garnered the Cedars Union a TACA pop-up grant.[5]
