Panther City Artists was established by Sara Hiett in 2019. After 15 years of teaching art in FWISD and seeing firsthand how art-making transformed her students and their families, Sara recognized the need for a more accessible art community in Fort Worth.
Since June 2020, we have been collaborating with schools, churches, non-profits, and local businesses to advance our mission of enriching lives through art. We are committed to offering a range of accessible opportunities, including collaborative murals, diverse classes, multiple camps, and other innovative experiences for the community.
At Panther City Artists, EVERYONE is an Artist.
We are currently raising funds to secure a permanent location and cover the operational costs necessary for our community work. These funds will help us increase awareness, support fundraising efforts, and advance our mission of offering art enrichment, education, and creative opportunities to the community.
Our mission is to establish a community where all citizens of Fort Worth have an opportunity to create art to enrich their lives and that of others.
Funding for operational needs.

Panther City Artists strives to provide a space for ALL Fort Worth citizens, regardless of socioeconomic status, disability, race, gender, or religion, to learn and grow through an art experience of creation, discovery, and collaboration.
