In the spirit of plein air, Arts Fort Worth is inviting artists to make work during the Main Street Arts Festival hours! Paint alongside other artists during one of the most vibrant festivals in the city! In the spirit of the festival, artists may come and go as they wish. You are welcome to bring a small cooler if they like and there will also be food & beverage vendors in that area. We will set up in General Worth's Square which is the grassy area on the east side of Main Street, in between 8th & 9th. If it gets too loud due to proximity to stage, we may move up to the sidewalk area above the grass (Right by the Kaman's locations).

All organizations that wish to apply for 2026 CORE Operating, CORE PLUS, or Tourism PID Grants will need to have a representative present at one of our Grant Orientation sessions.
