The Shining Star Arts League recognizes between 25 and 30 Shining Stars representing prominent charitable, cultural and civic organizations from North Tarrant County each year.

The Arts League is a dynamic group of North Tarrant County community ladies who share a passion for the arts and believe that cultural and artistic opportunities should be open to the entire community and not to just a privileged few. Arts League members are dedicated to ensuring that such opportunities are available through support of Arts Council Northeast where The Arts League has proudly served as a fundraising arm since 1985.

The annual Shining Stars Luncheon is a highly anticipated social event and is The Arts League’s signature fundraiser. The purpose of this event is to raise funds to support Arts Council Northeast while recognizing outstanding women volunteers (Shining Stars) for outstanding service to the community. Started in 1996, this year is the League’s 15th annual luncheon.
