Happy Thursday,
One of Fort Worth’s youngest arts festivals is coming back to complement the already established scene in the city.
Art Worth returns for its fourth year at The Shops at Clearfork this weekend. The event features visual art displays from more than 85 artists, live demonstrations and classical music from Fort Worth Opera.
Greg Belz, the festival’s show director, said the event has grown every year, but his goal is to maintain its intimacy and laid-back vibe in the future. He encourages guests to engage with artists and learn about how they create their work.
“The caliber of the work that we have from artists who applied is really wonderful,” he said. “I’m really gratified that they had enough faith in this show after only being 4 years old.”
