Two public events that celebrate art have begun in Downtown Fort Worth. Main Street Arts Festival is celebrating its 36th year; this is the second year for Sundance Square's "Fort Worth Art Fair."

Main Street Arts Festival draws 400,000 people from across the country. A panel of judges selected 212 booths from more than 1,000 entries this year. Visitors from Fort Worth say the event gives them a chance to see artists' work they would not have been able to get to know otherwise.
