Dallas’ own RewardStyle has commissioned a mural by local artist Alli K Designs to give Dallasites the perfect backdrop for their weekend Instagram. The mural aims to promote RewardStyle’s new LiketoKnow.it app that allows fashion lovers to shop their social media screen shots.

Completed March 31, the east-facing wall of the Standard Pour on McKinney Avenue in Uptown has been transformed into a bright mural with colorful hearts. RewardStyle calls it the #StartedWithAScreenshot He(art) Wall, and it will be up until late summer.

“We chose Alli K Design based on her incredible talent for interpreting a vision and creating work that is inspiring, eye-catching, beautiful, and fitting for the Dallas community,” says Amber Venz Box, RewardStyle's president and co-founder. “We are so excited that she was able to create the LiketoKnow.it He(art) mural for us.”

And what else would you expect from a pop-up mural painted on the side of one of Uptown’s most beloved bars than a tasty cocktail themed to go with it. The LiketoKnow.it Screenshot, made with gin, cherry liqueur, lemon juice, and strawberry garnish will be available through April at the Standard Pour.

LiketoKnow.it will display the mural with the help of North Texas bloggers on April 4, with a full day of shopable images on LiketoKnow.it's Instagram.

Using the LiketoKnow.it app, shoppers screenshot posts from their favorite bloggers and celebrities and instantly purchase a look. This is the second mural in a series of custom artworks across many cities. The first pop-up mural was on Austin’s Rainey Street.

National Medal of Honor Museum offers preview at downtown Dallas event

AT&T

The AT&T Discovery District hosted a mobile museum pop-up.

A high-profile museum opening in 2025 offered a preview in downtown Dallas: It's The National Medal of Honor Museum, slated to open in Arlington, at Nolan Ryan Expressway and AT&T Way in the Stadium district in spring 2025.

To give folks a preview of coming attractions, the institution dispatched a mobile museum to make a visit to the AT&T Discovery District on November 20, during lunchtime when foot traffic is brisk.

Imagine the sense of wonder and amazement that downtown Dallas denizens must have felt upon the sight of a double decker bus, parked in the District, equipped with video and historical information about the Medal of Honor award, stories of the recipients, and a rendering of how the museum in Arlington will look.

The goal of The National Medal of Honor Museum is to inspire Americans by honoring and preserving the history of the highest military decoration awarded for valor in combat.

They hope it will serve as a national landmark, illustrating the historical thread of sacrifice and patriotism that runs through all U.S. military service members, past and present.

Beyond its state-of-the-art, interactive experiences, a critical part of the Museum’s mission will be to use the stories of Medal of Honor recipients to inspire their fellow Americans.

It will incorporate the AT&T Virtual Recipient Theater, an augmented reality experience where visitors can interact with with Medal of Honor recipients. The space will be equipped with cutting-edge conversational AI technology complete with voice recognition to allow museum goers to have a conversation in a 3D format with medal of honor recipients living and past.

It will also have AT&T Branded Wi-Fi throughput the museum.
