Youth Arts Month
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 Paul Speicher - Ralph Naragon Fund at the Community Foundation of Wabash County and the generous support of people like you.
