“…The city has a thriving arts and culture scene and is also located near three lakes and outdoor areas that make planning leisure and entertainment easy. Just down I35 from Dallas and Fort Worth, Denton is the ideal place to be near enough to the hustle and bustle of the DFW metro area but far enough that you still have a small-town feel, the kind where you can grow a strong community and see familiar, friendly faces when you’re out in town. “
Denton has an amazing, diverse community of entrepreneurs, and many of them are creative startups, art entrepreneurs, and small business owners working in interesting, enriching, and creative-at-its-core fields.
Take a look behind the scenes and take part in live demonstrations, make-and-take activities, and refreshments at the various stops on the Denton Startup Crawl this year! You'll learn how you can support and get involved with Denton's creative community at the stops as well. Stay safe, mask up, and distance, and enjoy the fall weather in North Texas while exploring the creative startup spaces in town.
We were so impressed by the presenters at Big Ideas this year! Thank you to everyone who participated.
Speaking to Denton’s creative culture, we heard ideas for a Peterbilt Park (reminiscent of Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo), public spaces for theatrical performers and dancers, and complete neighborhoods where you can take a ten-minute walk and in that span, pick up your groceries, grab coffee, and visit with a neighbor instead of spending 15 minutes in your car to run those errands.
