If you have any prior experience with the space, we need your feedback to make sure that this report is comprehensive, inclusive, and actionable.

Whether your perspective is as an individual artist whose art has been exhibited, an arts professional who knows the theatre inside and out, a dedicated volunteer who knows the necessity of this great community space, or just someone who enjoyed seeing world class art from local artists, we want to hear from you.

At Tuesday's city council worksession, the director of Fort Worth's library department, Midori Clark, gave a presentation about how 8 libraries and 20 community centers could dedicate wall space for 2D visual art.

While this in no way replaces the need for the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, and still leaves out many other art forms, it is a big step towards creating more art spaces throughout the entire city.

Excited to see the City acknowledge the need for everyone to have access to the arts, and the key role that the City plays in making that possible.

More than 1,200 feet of wall space across 28 city libraries and community centers could be used for art exhibitions, officials said.

What started as an attempt to curb waste has since turned into a nonprofit supporting Fort Worth educators.

This is unfortunate news, but only confirms what we have suspected. It has been well over a year since city leadership has given any real update on the future of the building. They seem to be forgetting how urgent the situtation is and how vital the building is as a resource for the entire city.

This doesn't stop or even slow down our plans to restore the building. In fact, we hope it galvanizes you into joining the movement. The more we work together to bring back the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, the quicker we can see it not only return to what it once was, but also create something greater.

City staffers want to complete an internal review before they share a timeline of what may be next for the 71-year-old arts building.
