Arts Fort Worth is a nonprofit organization that was formed in 1963 to provide funding and leadership that would nurture, promote, and, assure the advancement of the arts throughout our community.
Today's Arts Fort Worth serves and responds to the needs of local artists, arts organizations, and residents through diverse channels, each with a significant impact on the quality of life in Fort Worth.
Arts Fort Worth's programs address three main avenues of the arts in Fort Worth:
Providing leadership and funding to local arts organizations through our competitive grants program
Enhancing the visual environment of our city through the Fort Worth Public Art program
Offering affordable and accessible opportunities for artists, arts organizations, and the community.
To promote, nurture, and support the arts in Fort Worth.
Arts Fort Worth has made the difficult decision to stop management of the building at 1300 Gendy. Due to the increasing expenses related to the upkeep of the property, our management of the space is no longer sustainable. While we search for new spaces to do our work, we have to close the gap in our funding that was made possible through earned revenues of renting the building. Your gift will help us to serve our arts ecosystem in the community though service to artists, arts organizations, arts patrons and community members, and cultural policy makers.
Additionally, we have the large task of sorting and organizing the items in the Fort Worth Community Arts Center and will need the help of many volunteers to prepare to move out of the building. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Amy Rasor at arasor@artsfortworth.org
Arts for All.
Arts Fort Worth is invested in providing inclusive access to experience and create art in our community.
Creativity transcends all barriers, real and perceived. We commit to challenging systemic and historic barriers by building a platform where ALL have an opportunity to express and see themselves in the arts.
