Worthington National Bank's Sundance Square location is home to an incredible art collection. Emily Guthrie Smith, who taught at TCU, painted the largest piece, entitled The Branding Room (shown below). This painting once hung in the old dining area of Fort Worth's Western Hills Hotel and was saved from the 1968 fire which destroyed the Western Hills Hotel.


Our downtown Fort Worth location also showcases many pieces of art by Xiang Zhang. Born in the year of the horse, Zhang grew up in China. He came to the United States to study art and received his Masters in Fine Art from Tulane University. He traveled to Fort Worth and went to The Four Sixes Ranch, where he asked if he could watch the cowboys.  He knew nothing about the ranch or the ranch's owner - Burk Burnett, the original owner of the restored Burk Burnett Building. Coincidentally, all of Zhang's paintings at our bank are from his experience at Burk Burnett's The Four Sixes Ranch.

Worthington National Bank recently expanded at its Sundance Square location, renovating the second floor in the historic Burk Burnett Building. This floor houses a collection of watercolors created by a local Fort Worth artist, Danny Jones. CEO Greg Morse commissioned Jones to create twelve paintings, each to capture a unique Fort Worth image or landmark, including Bass Hall, the Tarrant County Courthouse, the Downtown Post Office, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum, the Modern Art Museum, the Colonial Country Club, Texas Christian University and the Will Rogers statue in Fort Worth's Cultural District.


The remaining collection at this branch includes additional pieces by Smith, Zhang and Jones, plus work by other artists, including Betty Nash and Kenneth Wyatt.  You'll even find a saddle that once belonged to Amon Carter.
