Council has managed on behalf of the City of Fort Worth (City) since 2002 Mayor and Council
Communication (M&C L-13424). In addition to absorbing utility costs for operation of the Fort Worth
Community Arts Center, the City provides an annual subsidy of $200,000.00 used wholly for the
management of the facility.
In order to streamline the allocation of funds to various organizations, the City partners with the Arts
Council to distribute funds; thus, the City will make a single payment in the amount of $1,786,370.00
to the Arts Council for all of the programming that the Arts Council undertakes on behalf of the City.
This is the City's 21 st year to partner with the Arts Council. The Arts Council will continue to use the
funds in support of grants that fund general operating costs of arts organizations and arts
education and cultural engagement programming. These funds allow the Arts Council to continue to
provide funding and leadership to stimulate and ensure the advancement of arts via assistance to
non-profit organizations in the City. The contract includes a requirement stating that these funds must
be used for arts programming (exhibitions, installations, performances, concerts, etc.) within the City.
In turn, these projects enhance the cultural and artistic life of the community. The Arts Council will
retain the amount shown above for its costs in administering the competitive grants program and will
disburse the rest to grantees and other entities as shown.
The Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, Inc. will continue to administer the Fort Worth
Public Art Program (FWPA), including management of 43 new and ongoing public art projects from
various funding sources, including the 2022 Bond Program, 2018 Bond Program, 2014 Bond
Program, 2008 Bond Program, 2007 Critical Capital Needs Program, 2004 Bond Program, the Public
Art Fund (Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund for Public Art), and other funds, with combined
budgets totaling over $12 million, in accordance with the Fiscal Year 2023 Fort Worth Public Art
Annual Work Plan, as adopted by City Council. In Fiscal Year 2023, the total administrative budget of
$505,295.00 is proposed to be offset by approximately $150,000.00 charged to appropriate capital
improvement accounts for allowable project management costs. The project management costs
attributed to Public Art capital projects will be reimbursed to the General Fund from capital accounts
allocated to the projects at the end of the fiscal year.
