A message from the Arts Council of Fort Worth, Fort Worth Community Arts Center and Fort Worth Public Art
| It’s times like these that show us how vital the arts are to our community. The Arts Council has mobilized quickly to do everything we can to provide resources for the arts community- both for arts organizations and individual creatives. |
| Here is what the Arts Council is doing: We created Arts at a Distance to provide access to and amplify the arts in Fort Worth. We have developed a $50,000 fund to provide Emergency Relief Grants to arts nonprofits in Fort Worth. We’re asking you to help us double this fund. We have added a new page to our website that covers every resource we can find to help individuals and organizations. |

How You Can Help
The Arts Council understands that this is a challenging time for arts nonprofits and the more than 14,000 local creatives they employ. When the restrictions on gathering are lifted, we want the arts community to be as strong as before. To support these organizations, we have developed a $50,000 fund to provide Emergency Relief Grants to arts nonprofits in Fort Worth. Due to the high demand for this limited fund, we are asking our community to help us double the available dollars. Click here to make a contribution today to keep the arts thriving in Fort Worth.
