Arts in the 'after'
John Rogers and Susan Mendenhall
Fort Wayne is a proud “arts town.” We're renowned as a community of innovators, inventors and makers.
Our region's success and resilience stem from the ability of our citizens to work together, think creatively and solve problems. The “city that saved itself” from the flood of 1982 was saving itself once again by doubling down on quality of life as the engine to drive a new economic boom.
Accelerating over the past 15 years, our vibrant arts and cultural scene has contributed mightily to the revitalization of downtown and the rebound of our regional population.
