Happy Thursday,<\/strong><\/p>\n Fort Worth\u2019s summer heat has been no joke these past few weeks. To escape the blast furnace, I\u2019ve been trying my best to chill out with as many creative, indoor activities as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n If, like me, you\u2019re looking for some artsy ways to stay out of the sun, then head to ArtSpace111 for the return of the Fort Worth gallery\u2019s annual Texas Juried Exhibition.
