The Forney Arts Council is a young, vibrant non-profit organization dedicated to facilitating opportunities for local artists, while increasing the awareness of the arts in the community. We offer free and low-cost arts programming like art shows, classes, live music, artisan markets and children's crafts to the public. We are young and old; artists and admirers; new and long-time residents of Forney and surrounding areas.
The Forney area has a vibrant and inclusive environment, conducive to learning, appreciating, and experiencing the cultural arts. Our primary goal is to promote local artists by giving them a venue to connect with the public through excellence in both education and performance. We encourage community outreach and diversity. Our organization has committed to accomplishing the following goals:
ADVOCATE ARTS AWARENESS
Advocate awareness through activities, events, and promotion of the arts.
REPRESENT DIVERISTY
Represent the diversity of our community through public art and performance.
TEACH ARTS FUNDAMENTALS
Teach fundamentals of cultural art disciplines and provide facilities for creative expression.
SUSTAIN ARTS GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
Sustain the growth and development of The Forney Arts Council through ongoing financial support.
We need funds for a facility, preferably in Forney, where we can host art exhibits, classes, and concerts. We also welcome support for our ongoing programs like art shows, Downtown Forney Market, Community Band, Mixers, kids crafts, and partnerships with other local non-profits.
The Forney Arts Council welcomes everyone. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, or any other protected status. We are committed to creating an inclusive and respectful environment for all artists, volunteers, and community members.
