The Best Art Galleries in Fort Worth

Cool Creek Art Gallery

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The owners are wonderful! Upscale Art, from paintings to sculpture, hand made jewelry and painted Prints to photographs. An exciting and diverse collection of Art Work to gift or purchase for yourself. It is a great place to visit!"

Texas Discovery Gardens

★★★★☆ 4.1 (80)

"I visited the Texas Discovery Gardens with my brother a week or so ago when we were visiting Fair Park for a few hours. We had never been before - I'm not even sure we knew it was here until I found it on a map of Fair Park. Admission is $10 for adults, which was a little steep considering the state of the gardens. It was fall - but fall in Dallas was still 70 degrees, so it wasn't full winter frost-y weather or anything. We visited the butterfly house, which was okay. We did see some butterflies, but not a ton. But really what struck me about the butterfly house is that the plants were not doing well. We also wandered around the gardens for a bit, which were nice, but not as large as at the typical botanical gardens I have visited. Overall, I think it has the potential to be really great but feels a bit like it's fallen on tough times. I considered our admission (which we paid even though we couldn't stay long) a donation to the gardens. I hope to visit again and see the plants and butterflies flying. Definitely consider visiting and supporting them."

Dallas Glass Art

★★★★★ 4.7 (35) • $$

"One of my sorority sisters recommended this place. Several of us booked one of the class sessions together on a Sunday morning. There were others in the class that weren't with our group. Doing a private class is much more expensive. As is, it was $70 for this particular class. Read the prerequisites in advance and follow the instructions for your safety. You need to wear closed toe shoes, pull your hair back, and wear all cotton clothes. It's hot, especially during the summer months when the kilns are baking and the outside temperature is extreme. I was told that the last time my ZTA sister was there, one of the workers passed out because of the heat. Take the precautions seriously. Arrive early! Complete your waiver forms online before you come. You will create your artwork in the order you arrive. This is okay if you don't want to go first and don't mind waiting. Sadly, I was the last to arrive, so my ZTA sisters had to wait and watch every single student make their piece until I went. You will do less than you think. All of it is guided and you will have someone holding the hot poker WITH YOU the entire time. This is a good thing because you can relax and enjoy the experience without the fear of messing up. The biggest worry you will have is what color or colors to choose for the piece you decide to create. I went with the flower which was more complicated than the hummingbird feeder. I used the colors teal and nebula. These colors were so popular, they didn't have enough at the end, so they laid my glass shards on the table where I rolled them into the piece instead of dipping them like everyone else. You will need to return a week later to pick up your piece. It takes time for the glass to cure without thermal shock. I'm likely to come back and do this again, but I might do it with the ash remains of a loved one. They have these beautiful pieces that you weave the ashes into and then everyone can take a piece home of their loved one. I found this experience intriguing and would encourage others to give it a try too."

Dallas Arts Studio

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"My daughters have been taking art lessons at Dallas Arts Studio for over two years and they hope to continue until college. Mrs. Hyun Chu and her teachers are talented artists who guide students in technique, composition, design, and art history while letting them express their individual talents and creativity.The environment is studious yet fun. This is a high quality art instruction school - not an "arts and crafts" program. My kids look forward to it every week and it's one activity they never ask to skip! We highly recommend it."

Holder Dane Gallery & Art Studios

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Lorri Acott will be doing a paper clay workshop at the Holder Dane Gallery and Studios again. I took the workshop last year and it was fabulous! Not only was it the first time I worked with this type of clay, but the learning experience was great in so many other ways. The techniques used have served Lorri well in her amazing art, which is displayed in private collections and publicly in cities everywhere. It was a joy to learn from her; she has a down-to-earth, laid back attitude and a great sense of humor. The others in the workshop were excellent to be with for the long weekend and the experience levels ranged from beginner to seasoned. Because the pieces were raku fired, waiting with the group for the pieces to finish was a fun and exciting time. I'd recommend this class to anyone interested in clay. Lorri and her husband, Adam Schultz, will be holding workshops at Holder Dane in March, with Adam's figurative clay workshop March 24-26 and Lorri's figurative paper clay workshop March 27-29. This is a rare opportunity that you won't want to miss!"

Greater Denton Arts Council

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"This is the arts core of Denton and a gem to the community. Be sure to check out their annual awards event. It's a blast!"

Grapevine Museums & Galleries

★★★★★ 5 (3) • $

"There are usually traveling exhibits inside the visitor's center. We've come to several of them and they have all been fun and entertaining, even for the little kids. They usually have the exhibit schedule posted on the website, so check that first."

Pan-African Connection

★★★★★ 4.7 (34) • $$

"Beautiful spot for art and books reflecting the African diaspora. Today, I came in for my first yoga experience with my sister from another mister, and I'm here to tell ya, don't sleep. A full hour of movement with no impact whatsoever, what a workout of body parts which I forgot existed. The goodness of God is great!"

Giddens Gallery of Fine Art

★★★★★ 4.7 (7) • $$$

"Small but impressive gallery in historic Grapevine (on the north end of downtown). I was greeted upon entry and told that all of the art was from Texan artists and some were quite famous, I wouldn't have known, but I saw quite a few pieces that I thought were beautiful. I would definitely make this a destination when in Grapevine.(The Gallery shares a space with Bingham's wine.)"

Gallery 414

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3) • $$$

"We went to Gallery 414 on Gallery Night had a great time. The art display was very old motor bikes. It was cool to see but not my thing. The building is a small house turned into an art gallery. It is located in neighborhood so you park on the street. I like how Fort Worth is trying to be artsy. It is a fun way to send time looking at art. I would like to go back when they have some other art display."

Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (18) • $$

"*The Arlington Van Gogh experience is not affiliated in anyway to the Van Gogh experience in Dallas*My friend and I bought our tickets to to see this Immersive Experience back in March. That is how far booked out they were. We rolled up on a Sunday night; paid $10 to park, and went inside the old Rangers Stadium. I didn't think the signage was all that great, but look for the Diamond Club entrance, and there you are.You get to spend as much time as you want going through the small exhibit, and you can come and go out of the immersion room. The music and imagery are on a 30 minute loop. The room is super neat. Very relaxing. There are a bunch of benches and bean bags to sit, or you can sit on the floor. I am not sure if we just picked a good time to go (Sunday at 7:30) or the crowds are not large because there were not many people there. The two times we went inside the room we found seating right away.My favorite part of this experience was paying the $5 for the virtual reality. You sit in a chair and put the VR machine over your head and you start off in Van Gogh's room and descend down the stairs into a field. I have never done VR before, but now I want to do again. You can look every which way and see the scenes that Van Gogh probably saw when he created his paintings. A man's voice talks to you and describes all the scenery. You're in a field/farm area and then go through a little town with he big moon and stars, and then cruise towards to the sea and then you're back in VG's bedroom to end it. It was really cool to feel like you are floating in a painting.I highly recommend this event."

SiNaCa Studios

★★★★★ 4.9 (38) • $$

"Catchy name right? It's the formula for glass! This is a gallery presenting and selling glass art. I stopped in to look because I love looking at all forms of creativity. However, I'm not a glass aficionado and will leave the glass art buying to others. If you like glass, you may find something here. They do have some creative beautiful pieces and can put you in touch with artists for special designs and commissions."

Hawaii Fluid Art

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Ladies night rocked!! If you are looking for a fun creative outlet, check this out! You can paint or make a cup or just bring your creativity and they will help you bring your vision to life! Great for birthday parties, corporate events, or just individual att. It's a no pressure fun environment!"

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel The Exhibition

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"I highly this interesting exhibit, with caveats. It was very informative and I saw many new and interesting details about the Sistine chapel that I had never realized. You will learn the extreme lengths Michelangelo went to over 4 years to create these paintings. You will see up close the fine detail and will learn where Michelangelo's self portrait is and why he portrays himself this way. Do NOT SKIP the audio device. I bought a VIP package, and the clerk only gave me the option to scan a bar code and listen on my cell. I did not being ear buds so this was a waste to me. Later, as the exhibit got busier, I saw the audio devices, so that was annoying that I wasn't given that option. Finally, the paintings followed a good flow but the informational panels and accompanying audio are numbered and the numbers do not match the flow. The hand held devices could simply scan in. I had to scroll through a website. I also did not like the lighting. While this is a temporary exhibit, the lighting could have been improved. I was not impressed with the exposed extension cords. Each exhibit had a stand alone light fixture, and most of the cord was tucked away. But the plugs were exposed. Finally the light itself was harsh. It looked good on the wall, but was glaring when you needed to read the informational panel. I bought a book for $12 at the end. It essentially shows each panel separately and contains the same information as the wall description. I would have loved to have this in my hand while walking through. Finally, don't miss the video presentations. I do recommend this exhibit. If they would spend a little extra effort, I would make it a high recommend."

Bramblitt's Yellow Dog Art Bar and Gallery

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"This is a great place for fun! We came in the afternoon with my teenage daughter and really enjoyed ourselves."

Elm Street Studio

★★★★★ 4.9 (9) • $$

"I was looking for a place to have a friend's baby shower somewhere in the metroplex and hoping for the north Fort Worth area. During my search one of the first things I stumbled across was Elm Street Studio. I loved the reviews and pictures on yelp so my co-host reached to get all the info on everything. The process was pretty easy and it was priced reasonably. Even more importantly the venue was adorable and the perfect size. We were planning to host a group of 25 ladies. The venue has a nice front room, a center area which is good for a couple of tables, a back room with fire place that is pretty big and a nice size kitchen. We used all the indoor space for our event. There is also a lovely backyard and patio area that can be used for different things as well. Everyone was super nice and accommodating to us. We got so many compliments on what a cool venue this place was for a baby shower. I would absolutely recommend this spot if you are looking to host an event. I think it would be really cool to have a small wedding and reception here."

Frisco Discovery Center

★★★★★ 4.6 (12) • $

"We came up here to go to the National Video Game Museum. When deciding to go we didn't realize that it was located in this discovery center where there are at least 4 things inside this building ... but it seemed to advertise another two about some sort of riding tour ... or something to do with trains. We didn't walk around to the right side of the building were it seemed like those things were taking place. Looks like there is an art gallery, a small theater, plays not movies type set up, when you first walk in. Then there is a Science Tech type hands on place to the left that seems like a mini version of some of the various hands on areas of Ft Worth Museum of Science and History and the Perot. We saw someone giving some sort of bubble or fire experiment demo when I peaked in for more info ... but as we didn't know it existed we hadn't allotted more time to go to more places ... There was a mini snack area with vending machines and a few tables that we passed before getting to where we were going which was the Video game Museum. Next time now that we know more things are in this building we will allow for more time to check out other things here ... the science tech thing offered some sort of way to visit most if not all of the things there for one price so might be what we do next time once we get more info on that package."

PDNB Gallery

★★★★★ 5 (4) • $$$

"Dallas has one of the largest art districts that I know of in the U.S. That being said, there's so many pockets of galleries in the city. A must for photographers is the PDNB Gallery. Known for showcasing work of established photographers, this small space is a great place for rainy days and Mondays. You have to ring the doorbell in order to get in but after that you're on your own checking out tons of work. The gallery rotates work every six months or so be sure to get on the mailing list for more details. And the gallery is free!"

Art Wheel Studio

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"If you are looking for one of the best kept secrets in Roanoke here it is!Lilliana is a such a blessing in each of her student's lives! She is classically trained, and understands and conveys the fundamentals of all forms of art!You can book private lessons, group classes, camps or birthday parties! You can even drop your kids off while mom goes shopping :)Some of her children even compete for prizes, awards, and scholarships! This is not just your everyday paint by numbers class. These kids leave with some serious skills, a deep love of art, and many w/ scholarships to universities!You can even discover Eastern Folk Art, the school of Fashion... and if you are looking for a one-of-a kind accessory... You can buy the work!!If you haven't checked out this website, you are missing one of the strongest beats in the heart of Roanoke!5 STARS for changing lives!"

E Gallery Studios

★★★★★ 5 (13) • $$

"I bought 4 Groupon offers to this class as a present for my parents when they came to Dallas. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to use them, but after putting it off until a week before the expiration, I finally rounded up a crew to go with me. We stopped at Eatzi's on the way to pick up wine for the girls, beer for the boy, and snacks to nom on. The building was hard to find, because it was not well-lit in the front, but it will probably be the only storefront that is lit at all. We walked in, threw our drinks in the fridge and got to work sorting through all the books of idea paintings. I have never considered myself very artistic and was pretty nervous to pick something out and completely butcher it, but I found something that I thought I would probably buy if I saw it in a store and went to work. This was one of the most fun random Friday nights I have had in Dallas. Susan was fantastic and helped us all try different techniques and ideas. We made friends with the other parties there, both young and old. And all of our canvases turned out so well! All of our different styles came out clearly with art that we can all definitely hang on our walls. We will be back here for sure!"

Brandi Cottingham Art

★★★★★ 5 (2) • $

"The storefront gallery and studio is both a sanctuary and a laboratory. All that is required is an open heart and a willingness to explore the transformative power of creativity. Brandi C is the proprietor and her dynamic energy is a force like none that I have experienced. The artists she has gathered and that are shown on the wall offer a diverse look at creativity in Fort Worth, Texas up through the Midwest. You can also explore your own artist within through the open studio. Pick up your paint brush and create! Enlightened and inspired, Brandi's studio is a gateway to change one artist st a time."

Aaron Thane Tate Glassworks

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We went there several years ago. We all had wonderful experiences. I liked Aaron's style of teaching -- very informal and relaxing, unlike other places that you sit far away in a classroom setting. His assistant was very nice and we all liked him a lot also. The best testament of how much we enjoyed it is that my teenage boys asked if we can go back to do it again because "it was so cool". We will be back again soon ..."

Amon Carter Museum of American Art

★★★★★ 4.7 (70) • $

"Anytime I'm in Ft Worth and even close to this museum,I try and make it by. Even if for a quick in and out,it's always worth it for this art lover .I had never been in their library but,today I was fortunate to find it open. I went in and spent 30 minutes reviewing some art publications not widely available. Way underutilized resource.I snapped a couple of pics of some faces and a few new pieces on my way thru. This museum has been widely transformed in the last two years. So if you haven't been...Go!"

Art House Gallery & Classes

★★★★★ 5 (5) • $$

"It is a new place and unlike the other Art house class rooms this one has a gallery of art from local artists. They just recently had a fund raiser I attended where they were raising money for Cancer Research Institute. The artist were mostly painters and quite nice stuff. There was also a sculpture Manuel who did metal and concrete sculptures that were from repurposed metal mostly from carsI can highly recommend this as a place to visit just to see and buy unique art. The prices were quite reasonable. They also had all sorts of art instruction available to do"

Caravan of Dreams Gallery

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Leave your drink at the door on the little table. The well-dressed gentleman will kindly ask you to do the same. It's a cute gallery. I've taken pictures of several of the pieces of artwork, but there's plenty more that I didn't cover. There's a corner that looks like it may be set aside for rising local artists, but I could be wrong. It was a nice reprieve from the heat today."

Palace Arts Center

★★★★☆ 4.4 (25) • $

"Burning time to make our flight out of Dallas, we took some of it to tour Grapevine and were treated to an impressive revue of local talent dancing their hearts out to a full house in the modern, clean and heavenly-cool theater. All for free. Dance after dance, these locals swung and swayed, bounced and strutted across the stage with renditions from Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7CeATYYlb0) to Magenta & Riff-Raff thrusting pelvises to the "Time Warp", we wanted more but our plane, which we missed, was waiting. Bummer, ain't it?.This local establishment offers the cultured an idyllic little venue and the sound system is good and loud, almost as loud as the cheering audience.Local artists hang their work from the walls or adorn mannequins with their latest creations. And the air conditioning makes it all so comfortable when it gets hot.So let's do it again, come on...put your hands on your hips and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtkdo7bOmJcOh, you want more? Well hot patootie, ya rockers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMRl55U0eDw"

Yeats-Duke 1858 Working Museum

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"The Yeats-Duke Cabin is located at 214 North Crockett Street. Originally built in 1858 as a 16' x 16' single pen log home by Austin Newton Yeats, the house has evolved over time into the structure seen today. Austin Yeats settled in Texas in the middle 1850's with his wife, Frances Bond and her family. Yeats was a house joiner by trade, which may account for the condition of the original log structure today. Yeats and his family were among the first settlers in the area, settling in the area several years before Granbury became a town. Yeats left Granbury only to fight for the Confederacy in the War Between the States. The Yeats family sold the house in 1875 to the Nutt family. The Nutt family was integral to the development of the town of Granbury, having donated the original forty acres the town was platted from. The Nutt family sold the house to Major William Duke and his wife, Sophronia, in 1880. The Dukes came to Granbury from Alabama, and William Duke practiced law and became very involved in the community, becoming a founding member of the Hood County School. The Duke family made several additions to their home, beginning bysurrounding the original cabin with a larger frame structure. Eventually the Dukes added a second pen the same size as the first attached by a dog trot. By 1905, dogtrot was enclosed adding a third room to the home and a front porch was added. The last addition to the home came in 1932, with the addition of a back porch next to the rear shed room. The home remained in the Duke family for many years, and it was not until the 1970's that Granbury's first preservationists rediscovered the original cabin inside the structure. The Yeats Duke Cabin now belongs to the City of Granbury and efforts are being made to fully renovate the structure.The Yeats Duke Cabin was designated a local landmark September 5, 2006.This information was obtained from the city's website."

Kirk Hopper Gallery

★★★★★ 4.5 (2) • $$$

"Great little gallery in Deep Ellum. Off of commerce st. This is the 3 time I have visited this gallery. They always have a great selection of artist to show and the space is large. There is also a large patio area to show off sculptures. We came to check out Carols Don Juan solo show it was amazing great artist. Glad to see local gallery using local artists."

Talley Dunn Gallery

★★★☆☆ 3 (2) • $$$$

"What a terrific visit we had to Talley Dunn on Saturday. It was a random suggestion and a highlight of the day. The space is generous and the three artists being shown Ted Kincaid, Aaron Parazette, and Robyn O'Neill were all engaging. Beth was friendly and knowledgeable about all relating to the artists and their work. It is a quirky spot, but well worth the trip."

Irving Arts Center

★★★★★ 4.8 (12) • $$

"I've been to the Irving Arts Center a few times over last 10 year to watch some great Bangla plays. These plays are created by the talented team of Dallas BanglaTheater who have become friends in these past years. So the very first play I saw at the IAC was called "Shasti" (Punishment) by Rabindranath Tagore. I was awestruck by this Bangla play and even since have been more interested in attending these events. It's great that the IAC brings such vast cultures, languages, people to experience their theater. I most recently went there to watch another Bangla play called Projapoti and once again fell in love with live theater. I really appreciate being able to experience these plays and get reconnected with my Bangladeshi roots. I've actually learned some difficult Bangla words through watching them lol. It's always nice to enjoy Art, no matter what culture or language it may be representing and the IAC is the perfect place to do that."

Fort Works Art

★★★★★ 5 (2) • $$$

"A SPARKLING GEM of Fort Worth! I absolutely am a proud art nerd for finding out about this sweet art space in this beautiful city. This is a small-scale art museum that showcases a few artists' work at a time. It is free of cost too, which makes this a must see. I went during the last day of Ben Willis' Candy Man exhibit and WOW was it cavity inducing. I like how they feature local creative minds, too. Organic, haha jkjk. But it's lovely seeing the variety of styles they rotate in each exhibition.The entire layout of the studio has several rooms around a tall, modern white space. It is visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The curators and owners of the space are very friendly and even offered us a refreshment while we were looking around. Of course, being an exhibition, every piece is for sale. Each artist even has an opening and closing event AKA party where you can definitely peruse the museum and potentially buy some artworks. I like the intimate dynamic as an outsider here to be able to mingle with the artist and surrounding community. You don't have to be a full-on art nerd to appreciate this quirky place!Outside, there's even a huge mural of a vortex-looking abstract ringed monstrosity done by the talented Hoxxoh which I dig so much! Go snap a photo with it before it goes away. So, parking is a tad tight here. I believe you have to fight over ~8 spots, so come here at an odd time and weekday and NOT during one of the events and you'll definitely be accommodated. Definitely come as the artists rotate! A super cool way to spend a day in the culture district while supporting the sweet Ft. Worth arts district."

A Creative Art Studio

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (2) • $$

"I'm an artist, so I like art. Good art. This is a cool little shop with artwork, jewelry, scarves, knit hats, sculpture and pottery. All local work and they also hold various workshops for drawing and painting and even classes for kids.It's a nice place that fits in well with the artsy community that Denton is. Despite what the hours say on here, they are open on Sundays, I'm unsure of the hours, but being that is was such a nice day out Sunday, there were several people in the shop looking about.Depending on what you are looking for the prices on the paintings were reasonable, some of the jewelry was a little pricey though, but quite nice.As always, Support Denton businesses.Enjoy."

Main St Fort Worth Arts Festival

★★★★☆ 3.9 (37) • $$

"I look forward to this four days arts festival every year. Eighteen blocks of innovative, whimsical, fun, and endearing art for my eyes to feast upon. Wonderful artists from all over the United States in paintings, jewelry, pottery, furniture, paper-cutting, glass art, and, sculptures, in just naming a few. This fun festival is outdoors, so I do plan for my visits accordingly to the weather forecast, including an evening visit for a specific live band or singer.CHEERS!"

It is a former actual working firehouse! they have a private parking lot.The owner and his wife have run the gallery for several years, and the gallery has been here for at least 15+ years.
