Fort Wayne Museum of Art

The Fort Wayne Museum of Art will collect, preserve, present and interpret American and related art to engage broad and diverse audiences throughout the community and region, and add value to their lives. We are committed to providing people throughout the community and the region with exhibitions of the highest caliber, meaningful and engaging community events, and on- and off-site educational programs that increase people's understanding and appreciation of America's visual arts. At FWMoA, you will find permanent and temporary exhibitions of American fine and decorative art, including exhibitions exploring the cross-cultural connections between artwork and artists from diverse ethnic and national backgrounds. You also will find a lending library with over 8,000 art and culture volumes and periodicals for public use, a hands-on learning environment for young children, and a Print and Drawing Study Center available for first-hand study of our vast collection of works on paper. Additionally, the Paradigm Gallery shop features the art and fine craft of over 75 regional and national artists working in a variety of media. Fort Wayne Museum of Art is funded in part by Arts United of Greater Fort Wayne and the Indiana Arts Commission. Fort Wayne Museum of Art is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. In 2013, the Museum received major support from the English, Bonter, Mitchell Foundation, the Foellinger Foundation, Lincoln Financial Foundation, and Steel Dynamics Foundation through grants that increase our service to the community and develop organizational effectiveness. We are proud partners of the Fort Wayne Cultural District, an area of downtown brimming with arts and cultural activities throughout the year.
