About Us
Our History
Founded in 1975 as the Trinity Arts Foundation, Arts Council Northeast evolved from the Trinity Arts Guild. Arts Council Northeast formally received its nonprofit status in 1978, and was recognized by the Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) in 1997 as the official Arts Council of Northeast Tarrant County (ArtsNET). With the addition of the city of Saginaw in 2004, ArtsNET was recognized by the TCA as the Arts Council representing North Tarrant County and Southern Denton County.
Our mission and vision have always been to be a tool that our communities can use to assist them in their pursuit of art.
Come along with us and experience the wonder of ART.
Masterworks Concert Series
“Masterworks Concert Series” has been bringing us the sounds of the seasons since 2000!! Arts Council partners with the cities to bring free concerts for everyone to come out and enjoy. Our participating cities offer concerts from March through December, providing not just music, but dance troupes, children’s shows and more. We can even schedule Art on Wheels to have a craft table to keep the kids entertained. A lot of the venues have food trucks on scene, and there is always a place to lay down a blanket and enjoy a family picnic.
Our Masterworks Concert Series is designed to offer a variety of quality family entertainment to the community by utilizing the talent of local, regional and national artists.
Art on Wheels
“Art on Wheels” provides a creative outlet for our senior citizens and individuals 17 and up, with limited financial resources and/or limited mobility due to health issues and transportation challenges. We understand the need for the creative outlet to be available.
Currently, we serve 7 senior groups and 2 Special Needs agencies with more on the horizon. We have a staff of art teachers that visit the locations weekly and/or monthly and teach painting, crafts, and more to the participants. We raise the money for the salaries and supplies so donations are always a blessing.

Community Arts Projects
“Community Arts Projects” is our newest program to ensure that we can include and engage everyone in the arts. We truly believe that art, the act of being creative, is therapeutic. Research shows us that the act of creating, plays a powerful role in the healing process by providing a nonverbal outlet. Our emotions, during stressful times, need a way to be expressed, and art, all forms of art, help us to use the creative side of our brain to help us get through those times. We offer different disciplines of art forms to a gathered group and engage while we create.
