• The use of a gallery space to hold a fundraising event at no charge to the organization other than hard costs such as labor. The value of an event for up to 100 guests is $1840.00. Labor generally runs about $600.00. All proceeds from ticket sales, donations, etc., after hard costs expenses will go completely to the organization

• Collective agrees to help promote the Arts Center fundraising event through any means possible.

• Collective agrees to partner in planning and implementation of Art-Aid Expo in June. This includes assisting with organization, sponsorships, promotion, and ideas.

• Members of Collective agree to sit on a selection panel to designate the next collective group to revive this residency opportunity.

The Arts Center will be happy to have the organization call it their home and work with your organization. We want to create this residency program as a model to offer other artist collectives to help them grow in our community.

ABOUT US: Located at 1300 Gendy Street, the FWCAC is part of the most architecturally significant museum districts in the United States. The striking modern Herbert Bayer building (with a later O’Neil Ford addition) opened to the public in 1954 as home to one of the most prestigious and oldest collecting organizations in the state of Texas, the Modern Museum of Fort Worth. When, in 2002, the Modern moved down the street, the Fort Worth Community Arts Center opened. The building has exhibited world class art and supported the performing arts for more than half a century. The Arts Council manages the FWCAC, provides leadership and funding to local arts organizations through our competitive Grants Program and administers the Fort Worth Public Art program.
