Forney Arts Council: Bringing Color, Creativity, and Community to Town
Think Forney is quiet on the arts scene? Think again. The Forney Arts Council (FAC) is on a mission to make creativity a part of everyday life, and they’re doing it with energy, talent, and a few events you won’t want to miss.
🛍️ Market Days That Make Saturdays Worthwhile
The Downtown Forney Market is the crown jewel of FAC’s calendar. On select Saturdays, the historic Murray Cotton Gin transforms into a bustling hub of artisans, bakers, and makers showing off everything from handmade jewelry to local produce and one-of-a-kind gifts. From 10 AM to 3 PM, it’s a chance to explore, shop, and soak up the creative energy that makes Forney shine.
🎶 Events That Celebrate Local Talent
FAC hosts events year-round that highlight the richness of local artistry. The Summer Art Show showcases paintings, sculptures, and other works by talented local artists, offering residents a chance to connect directly with the creative community. The Forney Wine & Arts Festival adds a little extra flair, combining local art, live music, and wine tasting into a celebration that’s fun, engaging, and distinctly Forney.
🎭 Learning and Growing Through the Arts
FAC’s impact isn’t limited to events. Through educational programs, workshops, and classes, residents of all ages can explore their creativity. Whether it’s painting, music, or drama, FAC makes it accessible and fun, encouraging everyone to discover and develop their artistic talents.
💬 Supporting the Arts in Forney
Beyond events and education, FAC advocates for the arts as an essential part of the community. By partnering with schools, businesses, and local government, they ensure the arts remain vibrant and integrated into Forney’s growth. Getting involved—whether by attending events, volunteering, or becoming a member—is an opportunity to support the cultural heartbeat of the town.
From lively market days to inspiring workshops and festivals, the Forney Arts Council is proving that creativity is alive and well in our town. If you haven’t experienced their events yet, now’s the perfect time to jump in, celebrate local talent, and enjoy everything FAC brings to the community.
