Fort Wayne Public Art Trail
Discover Fort Wayne's vibrant public art scene with the new Fort Wayne Public Art Trail! Fort Wayne is a creative canvas for larger-than-life murals, functional (and fun!) sculptures, and many pieces of public art that our city is proud to display.
Visit Fort Wayne created this digital pass with the help of many local art organizations to help visitors and residents explore more than 150 photo-worthy locations in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne and throughout Allen County. Users can learn about the artists and check in at each art piece’s designated location to redeem prizes.
You can access the digital pass for free at VisitFortWayne.com/PublicArtTrail and easily put a shortcut button on your phone to access the pass at any time!
