Sundance Square is hosting an outdoor art exhibit that showcases the work of Fort Worth artists who won a total $100,000 in grants as part of Sundance’s “THE NEW NORMAL: An Artist’s Response to COVID-19” program announced last year.
The exhibit, a “pop-up walkable outdoor gallery,” will feature more than 50 pieces in sculpture, painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, and video, according to Sundance. The exhibition opens on Friday and runs through May 28 on Sundance’s sidewalks along Houston and Third streets.
The Fine Line Group, the family offices of Sasha and Ed Bass; Alice Walton Foundation; Donny Wiley Memorial Fund at the North Texas Community Foundation; and Kit and Charlie Moncrief provided the funding for "THE NEW NORMAL," according to Sundance.
“Throughout history, artists have responded to major catastrophes and provided the world with visual interpretations of a reality that captures and preserves the human experience at the time,” Sasha Bass said in a news release. “Ed and I, along with our partners, were honored to launch this program, which now provides a lens from an artist’s eye that can help our community continue to heal.”
