Transform 1012 N. Main Street Details
Transform 1012 N. Main Street seeks to acquire and transform the former Ku Klux Klan Klavern No. 101 Auditorium in Fort Worth, Texas, into The Fred Rouse Center and Museum for Arts and Community Healing, named after a local Black resident lynched in 1921.At the intersection of reparative justice, anti-racism work, spatial justice, inter- and intra- group healing and the arts, this project serves historically marginalized groups targeted by the Klan, namely Black, Catholic, Hispanic, immigrant, Jewish, and LGBTQQ2SPIAA+ populations. Many uses of the Center address specific needs present in the city, particularly the district where the building sits. An outdoor urban agriculture and artisan marketplace will help offset the neighborhood's lack of access to fresh food, for example. Performance space for local and touring artists--especially culturally specific groups that have limited access to local venues--will help address the dearth of these spaces. The Center will also provide arts training and programming for underserved youth, including specific services for LGBTQQ2SPIAA+ youth. A museum and exhibit space will be dedicated to social justice and civil rights, including works from activist Ms. Opal Lee's collection. The Center's uses will also include a makerspace, a tool library, DIY classes to provide local residents with equitable access to equipment and knowledge, and meeting spaces for racial equity and leadership training. We also envision affordable live/work space for artists and entrepreneurs in-residence.
