March 16: Fort Worth African American Roots Music Festival
The sound of old-time music is considered by many to be quintessentially American, yet the extensive Black influence - from the creation of the banjo and fiddle traditions to the roots of social dances performed alongside the music - is not widely acknowledged. Many still consider Black folks playing the banjo and fiddling as anomalies rather than musicians continuing their own generations-old cultural traditions. The Fort Worth African American Roots Music Festival (FWAAMFest) aims to change that. Featuring a show-stopping lineup of award-winning artists from across North America, the festival features performances, educational sessions, and jamming celebrating the central role of blackness in American roots music. It is the only major city festival of its kind in the United States, Black-led and centered on Black artists reclaiming their place in roots music forms through preservation and innovation.March 22 - April 27: ART214 Biennial Juried Exhibition
Opening Reception: Friday, March 22, 2024 (5-8 PM)
The annual ART214 exhibition, a cornerstone of Dallas Arts Month, has transitioned into a biennial showcase, evolving to deepen its impact and celebrate the rich tapestry of artistry thriving in the North Texas region. This juried exhibition, born from a collaborative effort between five cultural venues under the umbrella of the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture, has become a highly anticipated event in the city’s cultural calendar. The centers participating in ART214 are the Latino Cultural Center, the Bath House Cultural Center, the Oak Cliff Cultural Center, Moody Performance Hall, and the South Dallas Cultural Center.
Focused on spotlighting the rich tapestry of regional artists, ART214 serves as a platform to recognize the artistic endeavors of those residing in North Texas. The exhibition’s primary objectives remain rooted in highlighting the immense talent within the community while providing artists with new avenues for showcasing their works. With each participating venue bringing its unique patrons and perspectives, ART214 has consistently aimed to introduce new artistic voices to varied audiences.
