 Hi everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. Today we are looking at an event called Preservation is the Art of the City. Now it seems like every time we have a Fort Report about art that I draw a picture of me on a horse, well, I think it's time I drew something different. So without further ado, here's my new original masterpiece. It's a horse on me, don't you love it? This is the 15th year of this art show and sale that we call Preservation is the Art of the City and this year we've added an additional gallery, the one right at the top of the stairs over here. So we've expanded a little bit this year. The proceeds go to benefit Historic Fort Worth's two largest programs, the Ball Edelman McFarland House, the operations of that, it's our city's second landmark, and Thistle Hill our city's first landmark. So buying art, what that really means is that buying art, you're really also helping a studio artist and you're helping us at Historic Fort Worth a charity to maintain and keep the doors open for those great house museums in Fort Worth, Texas. If you want to be in the show, you can contact Historic Fort Worth Inc. We hope more and more people will continue to want to be in the show. You need to contact Historic Fort Worth info at historicfortworth.org by January 15th and you will be on a list to jury in to this particular art show. Preservation is the Art of the City is from September 7th through 23rd at the Fort Worth Community Art Center. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks. For a listing of more events and city meetings, you always can check the calendar at the city's website.
