Exhibit I: Approved Final Design
Narrative Description
Jeremy Biggers' Final Design for Eugene McCray Community Center celebrates Fort Worth's vibrant history,
culture, and future. At its heart are two young girls, embodying endless possibilities looking ahead. Embracing
each other, they symbolize a gesture of care, love, and neighborly compassion. A vintage photo of local
trailblazer, Eugene McCray, a local trailblazer, honors those who have shaped Fort Worth's legacy. The
inclusion of the Juneteenth flag icon underscores Fort Worths pivotal role in championing this historic event.
A not to the past is seen in the streetcar design and number 6, representing the historic stop that once connected
Fort Worth to other North Texas metropolitan areas, instrumental in building the community, fostering
connections and shaping the city's growth. The Wildcat Panther symbolizes both the Bethune-Cookman
University where Eugene McCray attended college, and Fort Worth's "Panther City" nickname. Additional
elements are drawn from the shapes within the map of Southeast Fort Worth. Through this mural, Biggers
aims to intertwine the threads of history, community, and hope, celebrating Fort Worth's remarkable
individuals and stories while inspiring future generations to continue that legacy. The mural will span the
entire space of the west exterior wall and doors approximately seventeen feet (17'4") tall, and seventy-seven
feet (76'11") long.

Installation, and Contingencies for Artwork at Eugene McCray Community Center, Located at 4932 Wilbarger Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76119
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Artwork Corn mission Contract with Jeremy Biggers in an amount up to
$55,539.00 for fabrication, delivery, installation, and contingencies for artwork at Eugene McCray Community Center, located at 4932 Wilbarger

DISCUSSION:
Jeremy Biggers' Final Design for artwork at the Eugene McCray Community Center celebrates Fort Worth's vibrant history, culture, and future
through a large mural. At its heart are two young girls, embodying endless possibilities as they look ahead. Embracing each other, they symbolize
care, love, and neighborly compassion. A vintage photo of local trailblazer Eugene McCray honors those who have shaped Fort Worth's legacy.
The inclusion of the Juneteenth flag icon underscores Fort Worth's pivotal role in championing this historic event. A nod to the past is seen in the
streetcar design and number "6," representing the historic stop that once connected Fort Worth to other North Texas metropolitan areas,
instrumental in building the community, fostering connections, and shaping the City's growth. The Wildcat Panther symbolizes both the Bethune-
Cookman University, where Eugene McCray attended college, and Fort Worth's "Panther City" nickname. Additional elements are drawn from the
shapes within the map of Southeast Fort Worth. Through this mural, Biggers aims to intertwine the threads of history, community, and hope,
celebrating Fort Worth's remarkable individuals and stories while inspiring future generations to continue that legacy. The mural will span the entire
west exterior wall and doors, approximately seventeen feet tall and seventy-seven feet long.
Fort Worth Art Commission (FWAC) Action:
On October 20, 2025, the Fort Worth Art Commission approved the Final Design and recommended that Jeremy Biggers be placed under an
