Chairman’s Note:
Texas, France and the Arts. If these are three of your favorite subjects, like they are mine, then you need to learn more about the Texan-French Alliance for the Arts (“TFAA”).
For over 150 years, Texans and French have engaged in an immeasurable number of cultural, social, educational and artistic exchanges resulting in the enrichment of lives of those touched by these activities.
TFAA was formed to help keep these exchanges alive. In ten years, TFAA has helped facilitate over 140 different Texan – French events and programs related to a range of activities including jazz education for underprivileged students, art programs to help with the healing of young Texas Children’s cancer patients, contemporary dance performances, French baroque opera, and numerous art exhibits by both Texas and French artists.
TFAA believes that through the continued support of these Texan and French exchanges that participants from both cultures will continue to expand in their knowledge and appreciation of each other while also enjoying the entertaining benefit of some of these events as well.
