Artists across Fort Wayne came together to highlight achievements and celebrate local talent at the Creative Awards.
"My experience thus far has been [that] people generally have a pretty open mind towards art, especially in the Midwest. I find people there are really kind of welcoming and really into community engagement-style projects."
"West Central is where history and creativity come together. This weekend offers a rare chance to see the past preserved, the present celebrated, and the future being built right in our neighborhood."
"To accomplish these goals, BIPOCA, of course, has a new space for exhibits and selling, but we have also developed a year-long incubation process for artists to participate in if they choose, and we are always working on funding to help artists with greatly needed resources."
“This group is for everyone. However, I have seen a lot of transplants, people reintegrating back into Fort Wayne after moving away for a job or college, and mothers or people who have gone through major life changes really benefiting and appreciating this group.”
“My favorite part about it is seeing so many people from the community, so many of my coworkers and young people getting involved with a charity event like this – to come together for one common goal. I like seeing everyone come together to give back to a good cause.”
“Every game that you play is an application. You just have to be prepared and be ready for every game. It’s my job to make sure they’re prepared when the opportunity comes.”
Swizzle opened in May 2024 to offer a social space without alcohol that would be welcoming to all.
“Crowdfunding is not a sustainable funding model and we recognize that. But we do recognize that we have a lot of community members that want to be heard and they want to help and this is their opportunity to help. If we can raise enough funding to continue, then we will look at our other revenue streams.”
