Annual Meeting
About the Annual Meeting
Set in a different location each year, the Annual Meeting brings members together for a two-day event to announce the TWA grant recipients, the Champion of the Arts recipient, and to highlight the unique arts and culture that the host city offers
2026 Annual Meeting
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Fort Worth for the 20th Annual Meeting! Since 2005, TWA members have granted over $5 million to organizations across the state, enhancing access to the arts for communities, including vital programs for children. Your support has helped foster creativity and artistic expression in young minds, ensuring the next generation can experience the power of the arts. This celebration was a chance to honor our impact and continue championing the arts for all.
During the two nights and three days, members experienced the vibrant fusion of culture, history, and the arts that Fort Worth has to offer. We visited and toured a variety of arts locations, including the Modern and Kimbell Art museums, William Campbell Gallery, and Shannon and Mark Hart’s private collection. The chair and host committee curated an exceptional itinerary, highlighted by a captivating performance by Casa Mañana and a memorable evening at Joe T. Garcia’s thoughtfully curated by the Lancarte family.
