About Us
Mission
The Fort Wayne Museum of Art will collect, preserve, present and interpret American and related art to engage broad and diverse audiences throughout the community and region, and add value to their lives.
Philosophy
The visual arts represent myriad aspects of our collective cultures, historical experiences, and of the human condition. We believe that the visual arts open our eyes, hearts, and minds to the intersecting dimensions of the worlds we live in and, in doing so, add value and meaning to our lives. This added value and meaning develops from: the broadening of personal perspectives, promoting increased empathy, sparking moments of self-discovery, fostering the development of new insights, as well as nurturing our human spirit. We further believe that our Museum has a responsibility to extend the experience of the visual arts to everyone in the community and to all the communities within our region.
