The Art at Spare Parts 2012

Over in West Dallas the Fort Worth Avenue Development Group is shaking things up. They're negotiating bike lanes, sidewalk expansion and public art programs, like Mobius Bench, the cool new point of pedestrian respite sitting on the corner of Chicken Scratch's lot. To raise money for it all, they held their annual fundraiser, "Spare Parts" on Saturday at the new Four Corners Brewery, where bids on pieces made out of recycled items hand-crafted by loving, local artists.
