The Chalk Art Festival is just one way of the many ways that Crockett Row supports the local arts scene. Earlier this year, Crockett Row launched its public art program with a call for artists to create three signature murals on the property; murals will be completed in the coming months. Additionally, Crockett Row recently installed neon signage in the paseos to enhance wayfinding and hosted local yarn-bombing artist Amber Bailey who transformed a permanent sculpture into a nature-inspired installation.
Other upcoming public art projects include a kids’ art wall designed to inspire creativity amongst Fort Worth’s youngest minds and the city’s first “Before I Die” wall where locals and visitors alike can share their hopes for the future.
Crockett Row is also home to ART7, a satellite gallery of the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, a division of the Arts Council of Fort Worth.
