  • The grass-roots arts scene in Fort Worth is definitely growing – and groups are exploring different ways to keep it growing. One of these is a hybrid gallery-community center-museum. It’s called Fort Works Art and it opened a new space last year. For this week’s State of the Arts, Jerome Weeks asks owner Lauren Childs what she hopes to accomplish with it.
