The History Center continues the George R. Mather Sunday Lecture Series, Sunday, November 7th, at the History Center, 302 East Berry Street, Fort Wayne. In this lecture, “100 Years Bold: The Fort Wayne Museum of Art, 1921-2021,” Charles Shepard, President and CEO of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, will look back at their organization’s first century in Northeast Indiana. From its earliest roots in 1888, today’s Fort Wayne Museum of Art offered art classes in the historic West Central district taught by instructors like William Forsyth and J. Ottis Adams. By the 1920s, the small school was becoming a professional organization of artists, instructors, and students learning and showing art together. Today, that professional organization is the second largest art museum in Indiana.
The lecture begins at 2 PM and admission is free to the public. To attend the lecture virtually please contact the History Center in advance at administration@fwhistorycenter.org All George R. Mather lectures are made possible through the generous support of the Floyd and Betty Lou Lancia Family Foundation and Indiana Humanities.
