Preservation Is the Art of the City
Preservation Is the Art of the City® is a show and sale of paintings by talented local artists who were selected by a jury of Historic Fort Worth, Inc.
This year’s show is being held in the mid-century modern office building at 500 West 7th Street, now known as First on 7th. The building was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with Preston Geren, Jr. Many know the building by the distinctive sculpture on the 7th Street Plaza designed by Isamu Noguchi.
