2009 Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival

MAIN ST. packs downtown Fort Worth each April with a celebration of fine arts and crafts, music, film and food stretching from the Tarrant County Courthouse to the Fort Worth Convention Center in downtown Fort Worth.

More than 200 artists and fine crafts exhibitors will line red brick-paved Main Street, joined by musicians and dancers on three stages. Admission is free.

Exhibiting artists work in media ranging from sculpture, painting and photography to woodcarvings, glasswork, jewelry, fashion, multimedia and more. More than $4 million worth of art may be sold during the festival at prices ranging from $50 for signed, limited edition prints to thousands for original works.

The 2009 show also will feature an expanded emphasis on environmental awareness, thanks to a partnership between MAIN ST. and the green team at The University of Texas at Arlington; the third annual Fearless Film Festival (a.k.a. 3F3) of fabulous film shorts; and the return of Art on Tour, a traveling exhibit of works by MAIN ST. exhibitors.
