After 58 years, the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena hosted its final farewell on Sunday. The iconic downtown building will be demolished in early 2027 to make way for a new state-of-the-art $600M expansion set to open in 2030.
The Moxxie part: we partnered with the creative masterminds from Thirst & Co. to produce the interactive historical exhibit, walking guests through 58 years inside the building, its music, sports, entertainment, politics, religion, commerce, and community events.
We built it from scratch with award-winning artist Jay Wilkinson who painted a 10,000 sqft. mural to lead guests from outside the arena on Main Street all the way through the exhibit to each colorful category that our friends at S**g Carpet Props helped bring to life.
The Arena held a lot of memories for a lot of people, and it was bittersweet being part of the last event inside its walls. It was an honor to contribute, for our city, our community, and all the incredible people who helped make it one for the books.
