The Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth has chosen four North Texas artists to participate in its 2025 Carter Community Artist Initiative. The program, which started in 2018, aims to connect local artists with the museum's collection and the community.
For the seventh year in a row, Amon Carter Museum of American Art taps into North Texas talent to enhance the museum experience, selecting four artists for its 2025 Class of Carter Community Art ists. This year’s artists are Kristin Boyer, LaShonda Cooks, Dizzy Orbit and Javier Sandova.
Established in 2018, the Amon Carter Community Artist Initiative was created to work with and support local artists to develop opportunities for the North Texas community to connect with the Carter’s collection and artists in the region. The yearlong commitment includes the participating artists collaborating on a wide array of projects and events for student, family and adult audiences.Six years later, the Fort Worth museum has worked with twenty-four local artists, hosted more than 300 events, and connected with more than 60,000 people at the museum and in the community.Each 2025 Carter Community Artists brings a unique point of view to the program. Boyer’s prints, sculptures and fiber works creatively explore ways in which communication skills are developed through play. With a specialty in portraiture, Cooks’ work explores cultural norms, identity and beauty through her signature pointillist painting style. Orbit collaborates with other Fort Worth artists to create photographs that include her fiber works, her friends and the local landscape. And as a first-generation Mexican American, Sandoval’s work invites viewers to reflect on how cultural heritage and modern influences shape identity in a constantly evolving society. “Working with these four artists in the year ahead will help us continue to expand our vision of American creativity at the Carter and beyond” said Amanda Blake, Director of Education, Library, and Visitor Experience at the Carter. “While the Carter Community Artist program evolves each year, the commitment to creativity and community impact remain
