Honoring those who have made significant contributions to the arts in Fort Worth.
ABOUT OUR EVENT
Arts Fort Worth invites you to join us for the 10th Annual Heart of Gold Awards Luncheon! We host this special event to focus on community leaders who have made a difference in the arts community. Each honoree shares our values of integrity and inclusivity, and their impact through the arts helps make Fort Worth a vibrant and welcoming community.
The Heart of Gold Awards Luncheon raises funds to meet the needs of our community by granting dollars, employing artists and designers through public art projects, or bringing our community together to experience emerging and established visual artists in the galleries, experiment and grow through programs, or theater and dance performances on three stages at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center!
HONORING LOUISE APPLEMAN AND GINNY TIGUE
The Heart of Gold Awards Luncheon wouldn't exist if not for the vision and passion of this year's honorees, Louise Appleman and Ginny Tigue. Ten years ago, these two incredible women saw an opportunity to bring together others who are passionate about the arts for an event which would support the arts at a greater level in Fort Worth- and the Heart of Gold Luncheon was born! Louise and Ginny are leaders whose impact continues to benefit Fort Worth in far-reaching ways.
Arts Fort Worth is celebrating the tenth anniversary of this exciting event which continues the original mission of bringing together those who appreciate the arts from across Fort Worth. Your support of this event will positively impact the arts across all levels.
Ginny Tigue
Ginny Tigue has been a tireless advocate for the arts here in North Texas and across the state. Serving on the Board of what was then called the Arts Council of Fort Worth for twelve years and as Board Chair from 2011-2012. As a Colleyville Councilmember, she was instrumental in building Colleyville Library. Currently, she sits on the Board of Directors for Texans for the Arts, the highly effective, non-partisan statewide arts advocacy organization. She is also a member of Texas Cultural Trust’s Texas Women for the Arts, philanthropic force of influential women from across the state whose mission is to awaken and nurture the artist in every Texas child.
Louise Appleman
Few women have worked as tirelessly as Louise Appleman to build a better Fort Worth. From serving as President of Beth-El Congregation, President of the Junior League of Fort Worth, founding member of the Women's Policy Forum, and currently Ambassador Council member of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, she has been a leader dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in our city. In addition to the dozens of other organizations, including the Symphony League and Stage West, to which she devoted her time and energy.
