Kinfolk House is a collaborative project space that inhabits a 100-year-old historic home, where community and art converge in the predominantly Black and Latina/e/o neighborhood of Polytechnic in Fort Worth, Texas.
Sedrick and Letitia Huckaby opened the doors of this historic space reimagined on the cornerstone of the creative power of Sedrick’s grandmother and original homeowner, Hallie Beatrice Carpenter, known to her friends and neighbors as, “Big Momma.” Her legacy inspires our understanding that creative pursuits exist beyond high art and academia.
Our goal is to uplift the beauty, talent, and culture in Polytechnic and feed its creativity by offering collaborative exhibitions, events, and educational opportunities of various disciplines. Through partnerships with community-minded creatives and project-based artists, we will build outside the preconceived ideas of “what art is,” exploring the intersections of life, cultural pursuits, and artistry.
Kinfolk House builds community and offers learning experiences around various artistic disciplines. Each year, we host three projects, or exhibitions, that feature three artists in conversation. Around each project we host a slew of programming for the local community, including poetry readings, music performances, skill-building workshops, and artist talks. Between projects we host programs for local artists to build their networks receive feedback on their work.
This North Texas Giving Day, your gift will help Kinfolk House remain a welcoming space where people of all ages can experience art, culture, learning, and community.
Your support sustains our exhibitions, youth arts education, public programs, community gatherings, teaching artists, and the materials and resources that make this work possible. Every contribution helps us amplify the voices of artists, create meaningful opportunities for young people and families, and keep our doors open to the communities we serve.
Together, we can ensure Kinfolk House continues to be a place where creativity, connection, and belonging thrive. Thank you for investing in our work and our community!
