THE SOUTHLAKE WOMEN’S CLUB is throwing the confetti and popping the corks, with the 20th anniversary of Art in the Square surpassed $3,000,000 in giving to charities in Northeast Tarrant County. This milestone was reached with 1,300 volunteers, 100 sponsors, and over 240 artists including renowned, emerging, and high school talent. Two stages hosted local and nationally recognized musicians. Many art patrons joined the dedicated members of the Southlake Women’s Club in celebrating the 20th anniversary.
