Shelia and Houston Hill Courtyard Gallery - New Sculptures
The Fort Worth Community Art Center Courtyard Gallery Program is an exhibition initiative
in partnership with Fort Worth Public Art with a permanent untitled project by artist
Kris Pierce. The plinths, or pedestals, are designed to allow for temporary exhibition
of three-dimensional artworks. An extension of the Arts Center’s interior galleries,
the Sheila and Houston Hill Courtyard Gallery provides a prominent outdoor venue for
temporary sculptural artworks in one of the most architecturally significant Cultural
Districts in the United States.
Rebecca Low ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is very diverse. I create what I see. When I look at what many people call junk, I
may see all kinds of things – very much like seeing faces or objects or landscapes in the
clouds. Empty space is filled when I see it. Then I either take found objects or raw metal
or both and often combine them with paint, water, rock, glass, fire or any other material
to help me create my vision. My attempt is not to try and control – I let the visions and
materials control themselves, my work and me.
ENRICHING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ART
Part of the mission of Arts Fort Worth is to provide a quality event, visual and
performing arts venue for all of the community. This historic and dynamic arts complex
boasts seven indoor galleries, an outdoor gallery, artist and performance studios, and
office suites for nonprofit arts organizations and is managed by Arts Fort Worth on
behalf of the City of Fort Worth.
Arts Fort Worth also provides educational programming, promotes experienced and emerging
artists. The three theater spaces hosts a wide-range of performances by local and
nationally known artists and organizations- the Hardy and Betty Sanders black box theater,
the traditional William Edrington Scott Theatre, and The Vault, which hosts Fort Worth
Fringe acts.
HISTORY
Located at 1300 Gendy Street, Fort Worth Community Arts Center is part of the most
architecturally significant museum districts in the United States. The striking modern
Herbert Bayer building (with a later O’Neil Ford addition) opened to the public in 1954
as home to one of the most prestigious and oldest collecting organizations in the state
of Texas, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. When, in 2002, the Modern moved down the
street, the Fort Worth Community Arts Center opened. The building continues to exhibit
world class art and support the performing arts for more than half a century.
