WHY ADVOCATE FOR THE ARTS

Arts Fort Worth advocates for the arts by partnering with community members, stakeholders, and other advocacy organizations to ensure that our city is a thriving place for the arts.

How can you get involved? Supporting candidates that prioritize the arts, casting your vote, and contacting your representatives on issues are all ways that everyday citizens can ensure the arts are continually funded.
