For more than 15 years, Wabash was a host location for the annual Fort Wayne-based F.A.M.E. Festival – the Foundation for Art & Music in Education. The Wabash initiative was led by the late Judy Ward Wright, who was a leader in the community for youth arts engagement.
In honor of Judy, Honeywell Arts & Entertainment embraced the opportunity to transform this beloved event into Youth Arts Month, which will feature art exhibits, performances, and activities for youth and families throughout March.
​
Most Youth Arts Month opportunities are free to enjoy, made possible in part by the generous support of people like you.
