Change is good

FORT WAYNE, IN (NWPR) – The Fort Wayne Arts Festival has called Jefferson Pointe its home for 16 years, and is known for featuring masterful creations in an array of mediums from many talented, award-winning local and regional artists. Works of art include wood, glass, clay, fiber, oil/acrylic, watercolor, prints, photography, jewelry, sculpture, assemblage, and mixed media.

     Historically, the festival has been a weekend, outdoor event which draws thousands of supportive festival-goers and collectors. But festivals have been changing over recent years and the Fort Wayne Arts Festival is no exception.  To meet the needs and trends of the day, a change has been made, being, it is now a one-day event held twice each year, a Spring Indoor and a Fall Outdoor arts festival.

     The dates and times are: Spring Indoor (former Ulta retail space) on Saturday, May 17, 2025, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm; and Fall Outdoor on Saturday, September 13, 2025 in the Center Courtyard at Jefferson Pointe Mall.

In addition to outstanding visual artists, also featured are talented musicians and writers.

New this year is pianist Joyce McNamara who will be entertaining attendees with her masterful keyboarding on May 17^th.  And returning this year Scott Sprunger with “Poetry On the Spot” will be composing original poems upon request on September 13^th at Center Court.
