Partner Partner Content 7 minutes with Francisco Reyes: Artist shares the origin of Fort Wayne Open Walls
"When I moved here, I met so many people whose plan it was to leave because (Fort Wayne) didn't have this or that. The thing that always got me was: You could have that, but you have to build it. The benefit of that is: You can build it without gates."
As part of its Art Unites Us campaign, Arts United is engaging Fort Wayne area artists and creatives in short, lively conversations about their work and how our region finds common ground through art. Input Fort Wayne is republishing these conversations.
This week’s feature is Francisco Reyes, a Fort Wayne artist and founding member of the Wrecklords who helped launch Fort Wayne Open Walls to do inclusive, legal graffiti art and to help transform local culture.
