Happy Thursday,
I know after the holiday season, money can be a little tight. If you’re looking to enjoy some leisure time without stressing about finances, head over to the Kimbell Art Museum this Sunday for its Family Festival.
The celebration includes free admission to the museum’s “once-in-a-lifetime” exhibition of works from the largest private collection of ancient Roman sculptures. The art pieces are on view through Jan. 25.
Also, we’re one week away from the return of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. The Fort Worth Report team is going to work tirelessly to bring you all the coverage you need from this year’s show through its conclusion on Feb. 7. Be on the lookout for our stories.
