Organizations such as Fort Wayne Ballet, Fort Wayne Civic Theatre, Fort Wayne Dance Collective, Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Fort Wayne Philharmonic and Fort Wayne Youtheatre provide ample opportunity for artistic entertainment and education. An assortment of smaller galleries and art groups add even greater variety to the programs and exhibits available.
