by Are you an artist from North Texas who is keen to organize, design, and oversee distinctive programs in Fort Worth?Applications for the Amon Carter Museum of American Art’s community initiative, which invites four chosen artists to work with the museum on a range of initiatives, such as public murals, student tours, seminars, and events, will be accepted beginning on August 1.
In 2018, the museum started the Carter Community Artists program in an effort to promote its activities, establish a network of local creatives from many fields, and establish connections with working artists.
The museum usually receives a lot of applications from a variety of artists from North Texas, including those from Fort Worth, Dallas, Denton, Arlington, Irving, and Grand Prairie. However, the amount of applications varies every year.
Over the course of a year, a select group of artists contributes 20 to 40 hours while connecting with the museum’s vast collection, exhibitions, and history.
throughout a statement, executive director Andrew Walker said, “Our Carter Community Artists have contributed insight, creativity, and enhanced engagement not only within the museum but also in our community.”
The deadline for applications is September 8. In late autumn, the chosen artists will be revealed.
