NEW Public Art At NorthPark Center

A new art exhibit has been installed at NorthPark Center. If you took the March tour, you'll want to go back and see this new exhibit "Art Meets Fashion: 1965 - 2015". The historic gowns from UNT's Fashion Collection are located between Nordstroms and Neiman Marcus on level one.
