Description

By Cristian ArguetaSoto, Fort Worth Report January 18, 2022 Fort Worth artist Fernando Rojas spent the past two years painting commissioned murals around the city. Now, his work is featured inside the Will Rogers Memorial Center and the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, at 1300 Gendy Street. "Working as an artist can sometimes be very demanding, so having my work carefully finished, selected and displayed for anyone to see feels like I just completed a chapter in my career… It feels very rewarding," Rojas said. Rojas is one of 18 artists featured in the seven January 2022 exhibits at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. Guadalajara, Mexico-born Rojas' art focuses on "both Mexican and Texan culture." His paintings range from portraits of cowboys to still-life images of boots. New artists will be featured at the gallery in February. The artist's work is displayed and for sale at the center.
