Brad Oldham, '89, in collaboration with Reel FX Creative Studios, will provide sculptures at the Deep Ellum Rail Station in Dallas, set to open in September 2009. The nearly $1.4 million contract from Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will cover a series of sculptures at multiple sites surrounding the rail station, one of several new stations along DART’s Green Line. This sculptural installation will coincide with the September 2009 opening of the new Deep Ellum Rail Station located near North Good Latimer Expressway and Gaston Avenue. The concept and design of this project will be kept under wraps until later this year. 

   Oldham is a nationally-recognized product designer and sculptor who works with a team of artisans and business professionals that round out the company known as Brad Oldham, Inc. Based in Dallas, Oldham works with top interior design firms and developers nationally to provide iconic pieces for high-profile public, corporate and private spaces throughout the United States. In addition to sculpture, the company provides custom hardware, lighting, tile, fine furnishings, architectural features and historical restoration work.
