Ultimately, Arts United exists to create the kind of community that we are proud to be a part of. Of course, all of this is possible thanks to the generosity of our community. Over the past 50 years, we’ve raised more than $40 million for the arts from businesses, foundations and families.

In keeping with our mission to develop, coordinate, and support arts and cultural efforts in Northeast Indiana, Arts United serves the community in the following ways.

• We provide nearly $1 million in grants and operating support annually.
• We support over 70 arts and cultural agencies through grants, facilities, and business services.
• We serve organizations within the following counties of Northeast Indiana: Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Miami, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley.
• We own and operate major public art facilities within the arts campus in Downtown Fort Wayne.
• We attract 15,000 people to our annual Taste of the Arts Festival.
• We advocate for arts and cultural growth in Northeast Indiana through our strategic affiliations with the Indiana Arts Commission, Americans for the Arts, City of Fort Wayne, Downtown Improvement District, Discover Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne Cultural District, Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, and many other initiatives.
