Arts Council of Fort Worth

In 1963 the Arts Council was formed to provide funding and leadership to stimulate and assure the advancement of the arts throughout our community. Today's Arts Council is a dynamic, multi-faceted, arts agency serving artists, arts organizations and the community with programs that help shape the arts and that have a significant impact on the quality of life in Fort Worth. Arts Council programs advocate for and fund local arts organizations through a competitive grants program; provide first class public art services, enhance the visual environment of the city; and manage the Community Arts Center as an affordable and accessible venue for artists arts organizations, and the community as a whole.
