We have many exciting gallery events coming up these next few months.
In September, all the galleries are full in anticipation of the Fort
Worth Art Dealers Association Fall Gallery Night on September 10th.
The Fort Worth Community Arts Center is hosting an After Gallery
Night Party from 9PM to 12 midnight. Tickets are $10 at the door,
and that includes 2 drink tickets, food, live music and all the dancing
you can stand. Don't stop coming after September, though, because
October galleries are full as well with great art. The Exhibition
Advisory Panel of the Fort Worth Community Arts Center presents Figuring
In...Texas Art, curated by Daniel Blagg. Featured artists are Ed
and Linda Blackburn, Ron Cheek, Grant Guilliams, Susan Harrington,
John Hartley, Sedrick Huckaby, Nancy Lamb, JoAnn Mulroy and Devon
Wattier. The exhibit is survey of the figure in contemporary Texas
art. The American Institute of Architects of Fort Worth will display
Cross Sections, artwork by architects. The Fort Worth Weavers Guild
50th Anniversary Show will fill several galleries, with a sale of
items on October 8th. The International Society of Experimental Artists
has their annual exhibit from October 4 - 29th. The Texas Wesleyan
University art exhibit features Chance Encounters: recent works by
Gary Washmon. Local artist and teacher Tom Delaney's exhibit Animals
will feature his newest work exploring the animal world. Opening
receptions will fall on October 7th and 8th, and the public is welcome.
November has more art and more art, with most receptions falling
on November 4th. Texas Wesleyan University art exhibit features Jill
Foley's, BFA Candidate Senior Project. The Fort Worth Weavers Guild
50th Anniversary Show is still on display. The Front Gallery will
have an exhibition of art inspired by Los Dias de los Muertos (Day
of the Dead), with a reception on November 2nd for the artists. Also,
Centro Cultural de las Americas is sponsoring Sabor Latino (yummy
food tasting) on November 5th.
And in December, come see the first FWCAC 9 x 12 Paper Show. Artists
will mail their artwork to the Fort Worth Community Arts Center in
a 9" x 12" envelope. The artwork may be a print, a drawing,
a painting, a photograph or some sort of mixed media. All artwork
will be on sale during December for the low cost of $100. These will
make great holiday presents. 20% of the sales will go to the Arts
Center for future programming, and 80% will go to the artist. Other
exhibits in December are the 3rd Art Educators Advisory Board High
School Invitational presented by Texas Wesleyan University, and The
Miracle of Rose, artwork by Rose Abraham.
Jumping ahead to 2006, in March we will see the return of one of
the FWCAC's most popular events: The FWCAC Biennial, formerly known
as the 39 Hour Show. In 2004, over 740 artists participated, and
there are sure to be more in 2006 for this much-anticipated exhibition.
The Biennial is open to all with a $5 entry fee. All artwork for
the 2006 FWCAC Biennial must be under 36" x 36" x 36" and
can only be brought in Wednesday, March 1 through Friday, March 3rd
from 9A.M. to 9 P.M. The artists' reception will be 6-9PM Saturday,
March 4. Volunteers will be needed to help process entries and hang
the artwork. Call Elaine Taylor at 817-738-1938 ext. 21 or email
at gallerymanager@fwcac.org for more information.
