Art in the Park (and other stuff)

If you live in, or around, Fort Wayne you know it’s Three Rivers Festival this week. Part of the festival was an activity known as Art in the Park that takes place at Freiman Square Park on Main Street. It’s basically a bunch of professional artists showing and selling their work. It’s pretty cool, there are jewelry makers, painters, photographers, wood workers, and much, much more. It’s a neat thing to visit. The exhibits have gotten where they over flow Freiman Square and have also taken over part of Main Street.

There is so much diversity in terms of the types of art, it can act as inspiration for any artist visiting the exhibitors. If you’ve never been, you should try to go next year. It’s worth your time.

Along with Art in the Park, another Three Rivers Festival event is the Chalkwalk. This is also very cool. A portion of Main Street as well as the Art Museum’s parking lot are used as canvases for artists that use chalk as their medium. Anyone who has an artistic eye can apply for a segment of asphalt on which to create a masterpiece. There was a ton of great work, below is just a sample.

There are some hughly talented people in Fort Wayne. Anyway, that’s all I have this week. I’ll try to have something more photography related next time. Thanks for reading!!!
