The Fort Wayne Museum of Art Chalk Walk has been a trademark event held on Main Street in downtown Fort Wayne since 2000. The event is based on an Italian tradition of street painting that dates to the 16th century, known as i madonnari (street painters). Using pastels, artists of varying levels of experience may choose to reproduce existing artworks or create their own in their designated square. The event typically draws 40,000 people to see the spectacle unfold. As it is every year, our goal is to draw the city’s most creative citizens together to contribute to the largest community art project in the region, attracting families, friends, and supporters of a vibrant cultural life in Fort Wayne!
Join Greyt Angels Greyhound Adoption for an evening of meeting retired racing Greyhounds and Greyhound mixes called Lurchers. Learn about these wonderful dogs and our adoption program. Greyhounds and Lurchers only at this event.
Summon your inner Leonardo Dough Vinci or Gingerbread O’Keefe and whip up a masterpiece on a 4” x 4” pre-baked gingerbread “canvas” with royal icing “paint”, sprinkles, and more. Use our Fort Wayne history-themed examples and templates for inspiration or stir up your own idea. Either way, your gingerbread will look so a-dough-rable! (This is a sweet event for beginners and experienced bakers — no artistic or decorating experience is knead-ed.)
