The Mavs have roots in Deep Ellum, the heart of the underground arts scene in Dallas. As a tribute to both the basketball and arts communities we have created a commemorative poster series – Posterized.
Each limited-edition poster in the series has been designed by a local artist in the DFW area. Their goal was to draw inspiration from the Mavericks and our city to create an original interpretation of today’s matchup.
All proceeds from poster sales benefit The Mavs Foundation, who directly improve the lives of multiple groups and organizations across the Metroplex.
Check out the art and learn more about their talented creators throughout the season.
