FAME Festival in Fort Wayne, Indiana - March 12-13, 2011


FAME (The Foundation for Art and Music in Education) held its annual Northeast Festival at downtown Fort Wayne's Grand Wayne Center on March 12-13, 2011.  Each year the FAME Festival celebrates the artist in every child.  This year's theme was Creating and Dreaming in the Land of the Northern Lights.

Northeast Indiana and Fort Wayne area students danced, played instruments, sang songs, displayed art, and much more.  These pictures will give you a glimpse of everything that went on in downtown Fort Wayne to advance the arts among our young students.
