FWADA Selections 2010

Each year the Fort Worth Art Dealers Association (FWADA) presents an exhibition featuring a variety of works from each FWADA member gallery. This free exhibition was on view at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center throughout the month of July.

The opening reception was Friday, July 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. A panel discussion, Addicted to Art, took place on Tuesday, July 20, at the same venue. The moderator of the panel discussion was Anne Allen—Fort Worth Public Art Coordinator, former director of the Arlington Museum of Art, and an artist.

FWADA members include independent art dealers, non-profit exhibition spaces, museums, and university galleries. These institutions bring noteworthy and meaningful art before the public by organizing, funding, and hosting open exhibitions. In addition, they work to stimulate the community's awareness of visual art through educational programs, by supporting art competitions such as Art in the Metroplex and with events such as Fort Worth Gallery Night and Artist's Christmas. FWADA also supports and participates in EASL, the Emergency Artists Support League, which provides emergency economic aid to artists who have suffered major misfortunes. These activities give FWADA a pivotal role in the establishment and maintenance of a full and vital visual arts community—one they assume with great pride.
