Fort Works Art

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.

Fort Worth Art options are better than Dallas.As a TRUE Dallasite, it pains me to say this but I have to admit. Fort Worth art district kick Dallas's butt. Fort Works Art is a small shining piece of glory off a not so main road in Downtown Ft. Worth. The modern/contemporary vibe drew me in and I will definitely be back. Did I mention, it is Free. I went during the Duets 2.0 viewing and I was definitely not disappointed. While you're in the Fort Worth arts district make sure to take a trip to Fort Works Art.
