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 address three main areas:

  • advocating for and funding local arts organizations through a competitive grants program;
  • providing first class public art services, enhancing the visual environment of the city; and
  • managing the Community Arts Center as an affordable and accessible venue for artists arts organizations, and the community as a whole.

 

By identifying and addressing the needs of the arts community and of the community at large, the Arts Council is positioned to serve its constituents ably and well.

Funding for Arts Council grants comes from individuals, corporate and foundation donors, as well as the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County and Texas Commission on the Arts.
