From the Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
Visited the #fwmoa recently? If so, you may have to turn around and come back because we have new exhibitions and works...though these recent acquisitions aren't works of art, but books! See them in the Print & Drawing Study Center:
Let's Talk (Outdoor) Shop with en plein air artist Avon Waters. Currently on display at #fwmoa in the exhibition "Indiana Waterways", Waters' walks us through his process of creating pastel landscapes that raise awareness about the beauty of the Midwest.
Sculpture artist Sayaka Ganz gives new life to old things, using scrap metal and plastics to create artworks big and small. Join her in the #shop to see how she bends, breaks, and welds her work into being.
Currently in the #shop we're decorating for the upcoming holidays and festivities. See how artist Malinda Henning makes her handmade Día de los Muertos ornaments, now available at the #fwmoa Paradigm Gallery, and join us on Sunday for the celebration!
Today the #shop looks a little different: we're looking at an artist collaboration! Helen Frost (poet) and Rick Lieder (artist) work together to create children's books about insects. Read on to see how their two separate creative pursuits come together.
The Fort Wayne Artist Guild's Paint Out, held August 11 at the #fwmoa, attracted various regional artists to create outside their studio. We celebrate two of the awarded works in this post: John Kelty and Heidi Malott.
If you took a stroll down Main Street last week, Elephant Ear and Lemon Shake-Up in hand, you probably saw the #fwmoa annual Chalk Walk. Let's explore chalk as an artistic medium, in all its forms, in this #arttermtuesday.
We're celebrating Fort Wayne designer Bill Blass' 100th birthday at #fwmoa for the next 100 days. To kick-off, we're taking a look at what the word designer means, with an emphasis on those in fashion.
Calling all photographers! We're in the (digital) shop with Fort Wayne-based photographer John Gevers as he walks us through his post-production, or editing, routine on his work "Goat Island Light, Cape Porpoise, Maine".
The first day of September means one thing around here: the launch of the new Scholastic Art & Writing Awards season! We caught up with multiple award recipient Alyvia Luong to inspire those submitting this year!
