Hosted by Jorge Baldor, Founder of the Latino Arts Project, After8toEducate, and the Latino Center for Leadership Development, and Anette Landeros, Chief Strategy Officer at Trinity Metro and Board Member for the Historic Northside District, the luncheon will feature reflections on how arts and culture can serve as powerful tools for neighborhood empowerment and storytelling.

Culinary offerings will be provided by Juan Rodriguez of Magdalena’s in collaboration with Marios Hedary of Byblos Mediterranean, blending flavors and traditions that speak to the richness of Fort Worth’s diverse communities.

This open gathering is part of a full day of programming and provides space to connect, reflect, and imagine what’s possible when communities invest in culture.
