I am thrilled to be apart of the  Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership team, in collaboration with Arts United of Greater Fort Wayne Inc., we launched Make It Your Own Mural Fest in Northeast Indiana and Fort Wayne in October 2020. The regional mural festival concept, the first of its kind in the State of Indiana, builds on the quality of place efforts accelerated by the Regional Cities Initiative, growing regional pride and garnering significant attention and exposure nationally. Over 11 days, regional, national and international artists created 11 high-quality murals—one in each of the 11 counties of Northeast Indiana.
