Fort Worth's premier art museum, featuring paintings from international painters.

I’m a museum maven and was expecting a good one. But the delight was in the details. For starters the Renoir exhibition has some old favorites last seen elsewhere. It was the ambiance of warm proximity to the master that was different. And better. Visiting old favorites in a laid back space gave them a fresh look. As for the facility: Our backstage look at the careful planning and meticulously maintained structures where a sparkling new Renzo Piano pavilion suppléments the grandiose Louis Kahn galleries was accompanied by a wealth of happily shared expertise from the brilliant Senior Deputy Director. It will be interesting indeed to revisit the Reniors back at their more formal Clark home. As got the Kimbell-Go for the architecture. Stay for the attitude. How to feel at home, even cozy, in the presence of genius.

The Amon Carter has just undergone a complete renovation of the museum itself. This facility renovation has provided a new platform to allow a redesign in the way the art is grouped and displayed along with some updated lighting. Amon Carter, the man, was a great supporter of Fort Worth and used his wealth to accumulate an extensive collection of American Art and display it for all to enjoy. Don't pass up the opportunity to view this collection.

Keith and Courtney are awesome. Keith led us in some introductory wheel throwing of pottery and we enjoyed the experience immensely! The instruction was personal and patient. Keith was eager to help my wife design and manipulate her lump of clay into what promises to be a wonderful ring stand. We are looking forward to returning to glaze our creations in a couple of weeks! 10/10 would go again!

Adobe Western Art Gallery has a wide selection of traditional and contemporary fine quality western artworks. A marvelous collection of western-themed paintings, sculptures and bronzes from some truly superb and skilled artists. Located just a short half block south of the Fort Worth Stockyards on Main Street Offered is also an awesome selection of western furniture, much of which is custom made onsite. Most of the items in the gallery are handmade and unique. A large majority of the artworks are by Texas artisans. Set aside some time to stop in and take a look at the many temptations... Happy shopping !!

My friends and I attended the beginner class blowing glass this week and LOVED it! The class was informative, fun, and way more hands on then we thought it was going to be. Kevin and his team were kind, patient, and super knowledgeable about their craft. I would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in creating your own glass pieces!

The Fort Worth Botanical Gardens is just to the south of the Will Rogers Coliseum, The Amon Carter Museum, Natural Science Museum (great for kids), Kimball Art Museum and Modern Art Museum are all within a couple of blocks of each other. It's a great place to spent some time.
