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.

Kids Who Care performed a strategic and engaging flash mob in the lobby of Fort Worth’s Museum of Science and History on Sept. 24.
For a little over 5 minutes, these performers tasted “Fame.
”Remember my name – Fame
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna learn how to fly – High”
As the theme music from the 1980 hit TV show began to play across the museum, one dancer launched the flash mob. Before it was all said and done with, 60 performers were singing, dancing and spreading the word about WorthGoing.com.
Museum-goers tapped their toes and flashed smiles of curiosity and uncertainty – right before pulling out their camera phones and capturing the magic.
As the music faded off, the performers danced their way out of the building.
The “Kids” closest competition brought packaging tape to life in an extended Art Attack.
Artists Lauren Kolesar-Eatinger and Arlene Shelton used more than a mile of tape to create four “Tape People” and gave them a personal tour of Fort Worth – even before the actual Art Attack.
“The girls” visited the train station, the cultural district, and Staples. They were kicked off museum property, they rode a bike and a skateboard, and they received some bumps and bruises.
On Sept. 24th, they made their “official” appearance in and around downtown Fort Worth….they were a HUGE hit.
Here are the final results from the online voting:
