When he took to the stage to accept the award, Tucker said he was inspired to emulate the winners before him and to live his life as a work of art.<br><br>\u201cBecause<em>&nbsp;<\/em>art doesn\u2019t ask about your race or ethnicity or your gender or your gender identity. Art doesn\u2019t really ask about what side of town you live on or your census tract and then ask about your education or what you think about your political affiliation. Art doesn\u2019t care about how differently abled you are,\u201d he said.<br><br>\u201cArt is the triumph of the human spirit. At its best, it looks at our common humanity. And in Fort Worth that\u2019s what we need more than anything else, spaces where our common humanity can triumph (and) our human dignity can be at the center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the commission\u2019s September meeting, vice chair James Talambas, thanked Tucker for his leadership and service to the community.<br><br>\u201cYour attention to fairness and equity in process and the community will have a lasting effect on this commission. Your presence and voice will be missed but will continue to echo through each one of us as we continue to represent the city,\u201d he said.<br><br>In a nod to the time limits on public comments, Talambas quipped, \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to hearing you more out there, three minutes at a time.\u201d &nbsp;The art commission is expected to elect a new chair and vice chair at its next meeting at 5 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arts advocate Estrus Tucker exit rolls off Fort Worth\u2019s art commission by&nbsp;Marcheta Fornoff September 26, 2023 4:45 pm Estrus Tucker accepts Arts Fort Worth\u2019s Advocate for the Arts Award at its annual Heart of Gold Awards.
