This year’s Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival was an immense success. Eight or ten blocks of Main St, are lined with music and visual art and performers and artists. The crowds are massive, too. I was elbow to elbow with my fellow festive neighbors.
This is all great news, especially when you consider that the first day of the festival, Thursday, was cut short due to a dangerous evening storm that pounded western parts of the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area with large hail. However, the weather cleared up later that night and we’ve enjoyed beautiful sunny days and clear nights since.
So, as I sit here nursing my sore feet and my sunburn, I find all the sights and sounds of the festival merging into one pleasurable memory. My goal over the next few posts is to sort it all out and give you a more in-depth account of outstanding artists and their art. Artists like Pascal Bouterin, Li Wang, and a kinetic sculptor named Jeffrey Zachmann. I hope the video is passable.
Every kind of art imaginable can be found under the tents along Main street — glass art, paintings of various styles and genres, sculpture and much more. Following are some pictures of just a sampling of the art that is for sale at the festival this year.
