BFFW RECEIVES FUNDING FROM THE ARTS COUNCIL OF FORT WORTH & TARRANT COUNTY
The BFFW has received funding from the Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County for its 2008 general operating budget and for a neighborhood arts project. It is extremely greatful for the support and encouragement the Council is providing the Ballet Folklorico de Fort Worth, Inc. through this grant award.

A huge thank you also goes to Mayor Moncrief and the City Council of Fort Worth for the increase in funding made possible through their generous dedication and commitment to the arts community of Fort Worth and Tarrant County. Thank you for believing in us.
