Art Tooth is an artist-run, nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and elevating emerging and mid-career artists in Fort Worth and the greater North Texas region. Founded on the belief that artists are essential to a thriving and connected community, Art Tooth works to create meaningful opportunities for artists to grow their practices, share their work, and build sustainable creative careers. Through exhibitions, open calls, public programming, and strategic partnerships, Art Tooth provides platforms that amplify diverse voices and foster dialogue between artists and the communities they serve. We are committed to increasing accessibility to the arts by removing barriers to participation and creating inclusive spaces where artists of all backgrounds—particularly those historically underrepresented—can be seen, supported, and celebrated. As an artist-led organization, we prioritize collaboration, transparency, and community-driven initiatives. We serve as a bridge between artists, institutions, and audiences, helping to strengthen the cultural fabric of North Texas while advocating for the value of contemporary art in everyday life. Art Tooth envisions a vibrant, equitable arts ecosystem where artists are fairly compensated, creatively fulfilled, and empowered to contribute to the cultural and economic vitality of their communities. Through our work, we aim to not only support individual artists but also cultivate a more connected, inspired, and resilient creative community for all.
