in Irving, clients get a fresh cut and conversation with a side of culture. Art fills the walls of the barbershop.
"I know the moment you open the door, you're able to see some of the art," 1 Nice Cut Barbershop owner Jimmy McGee Jr. said."You could just talk forever about art!"," Kat Warwick said. Warwick is part of the Business Council for the Arts Leadership Arts Institute Class of '23. The Neighborhood Mini Museum was their pilot project.
"Using artists that are in the area, they get to tell their stories," Warwick explained."I never got taken to a museum. I never got taken to a gallery or an art show, and it's like well, I know there are more people like me."
