Fort Worth's Pioneer Tower to Become ‘Canvas' For Projected Art

The historic Pioneer Tower on Fort Worth’s west side has stood tall for 85 years, but no one has ever seen it the way they will this weekend.

The 204-foot-tall tower, which skies above the Will Rogers Memorial Center, will become a canvas for projected artworks starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, August 20.
