100 for 100
This open call show features 100 artists each having at least one piece of art in the show valued at $100. Shown the our main gallery of Fort Works Art, the goal is to allow new artists the ability to exist within a white wall brick-and-mortar gallery space.

THE MARKS WE MAKE
The Marks We Make, an international juried exhibition exploring the enduring power and relevance of the human figure in contemporary art. With over 400 open call submissions, the gallery was pleased to announce the 24 artists selected from across the country whose works reexamined what it meant to represent the human form today. The exhibition ran concurrently with Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the only U.S. stop for the exhibition, creating a city-wide dialogue centered on contemporary figurative art and the human form.
