November 21 – 22, 1963 – JFK’s Visit to Fort Worth

 

JFK Tribute Dedication Ceremony:

 

JFK Tribute in Fort Worth:

 

Art Collections:

President and Mrs. Kennedy’s appreciation of the arts was well known before their visit to Fort Worth.  Because of their love of the arts, Fort Worth art patrons wanted the President and Mrs. Kennedy to be surrounded by beautiful pieces from Fort Worth collections. As a result, sixteen original pieces representing modern art and sculpture, American art, and Impressionist–inspired works were assembled and displayed in the President and First Lady’s suite at the Hotel Texas. To accompany the art, a special catalog, “An Art Exhibition for the President and Mrs. Kennedy,” listing the artist, title and medium, and the owner of the work was printed and also placed in the suite.
