This school year has been like no other and we are truly indebted to our amazing families, faculty and staff, alumni, donors, and sponsors for partnering with Texas Center for Arts + Academics to ensure the success of our schools and programs.
On April 9th 2021, at our first ever virtual gala, "The Greatest Show in Fort Worth," our community of supporters came together in an evening of celebration and raised over $40,000 for our organization.
Thank you to all who joined us and supported our special event. If you want to relive the magic, we invite you to Watch the Recording. |

One Event, Two Ways to Watch: |
|
Inspired by our artistic students, Singing Girls of Texas (SGT) presents Adventures in Color, a multimedia performance exploring the idea of music as visual and performance art.
Each piece was selected for its connection to a different color. Student-led groups not only learned and performed the music, but came up with a visual concept which embodies the story, the color, and the essence of that piece. All the work included in Adventures in Color is student directed and created. Every concept, photo, piece of art, or movement was created by their incredible minds.

Kids Take Over the School |
|
This year, our amazing FWAFA PTSO, parent supporters, and faculty and staff came together for another successful "Kids Take Over the School!" In this annual fundraiser, faculty and staff members are auctioned off - and the winning students get to be their mini-me for a day. A total of $9,992.58 was raised, which will be used to improve our wireless connectivity in the school. This is INCREDIBLE and a testament to the extraordinary powers of school and home partnerships!
