And the Winner is…
Congratulations to “Kids in the District” for receiving the most votes in the Art Attacks online poll.
The strategic and engaging flash mob – performed by Kids Who Care – received almost 42 percent of the votes to receive the $5,000 grand prize.
The musical theatre company held off “Tape People” in a spirited and competitive campaign. “Tape People” finished second in online voting with 37 percent of the votes, while “Paper Monster” was third.
The Art Attacks voting ran from Oct. 6 through Oct. 26.
There were a total of 12 Art Attacks that helped spread the word about WorthGoing.com, the new online calendar launched by the Arts Council of Fort Worth. The campaign was also designed to help raise awareness about the arts community in Greater Tarrant County.

More Than Words?
Poet Tammy Gomez wrote a community-minded and engaging poem to finish off the Art Attacks campaign. A single word was painted on brightly-colored boards, and these 12-inch pieces of recycled wood were numbered. When they were laid out in the correct order – end to end – the poem came to life on the sidewalk.
Command & Conquer
A bright green low-rider was front and center of this Art Attack – generating a lot of curiosity and interest. But it was an interactive and engaging rendition of “Macarena” that ended up stealing the show.
Flashing into Song
It started out as a simple vocal performance by local celebrity, Sheran Keyton, but this was not one of her legendary solo performances. It turned into a vocal flash mob for people attending “Day in the District.”
Movin’ in the Rain
“Resiliency is the characteristic of determination…someone who won’t quit.” That was the theme of the Art Attack “Art Movers.” After the first failed attempt, it was finally executed – despite a monsoon.
