Son of Stan, Sean Russell & The Cowtown Dugout, Clint Niosi, Walker & The Texas Dangers, Trash Puppies, Smokey Dopes, and DJ Hot and Spicy are slated to perform from 4pm ’til whenever Sat at Arthouse (3529 W Fuller Av, Fort Worth) in the South Hills neighborhood.
Now in its eighth year, this free major house party combines progressive, independent music with cutting-edge visual art. And heartwarming philanthropy. This year, the hosts, brothers Arthur and Wilson Armstrong, are seeking donations of children’s coats and men’s shoes.
“The big inspiration from the start of these shows is to give people a place to show their work,” Arthur said. “We’ve been able to create and provide a space for early-career artists to network with other artists.”
Beer, java from Ostara Coffee, pizza from Mellow Mushroom, and backyard smoked brisket are among the food/bev options.
“We focus on up-and-coming artists,” Wilson said, “and we think of ourselves as part of the greater artistic community, and we feel like we have a niche. Generally, our mission statement is that we provide an open, welcoming space with no admission and vender-booth cost space, [and we pay] artists and bands decently who are happy to play our show.”
The Armstrongs are looking for a new home for the event.
“We can’t do it all ourselves,” Wilson said. “We’ve got a whole crew, and we’re going legit.”
