Crowdfunding for Downtown Crosswalk Murals Successful

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): The streets in downtown Fort Wayne's arts campus will be more colorful by next summer.

The crosswalks near places like Freimann Square Park and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art will have murals designed on them by local artists Adam Garland and Nate Utesch. 

That's thanks to Artlink's local crowdfunding website Amplify Art! Supporters were able to raise $3,370 to design and install two crosswork murals, and now Artlink is trying to raise another $3,400 to design and install a third crosswalk mural. 

Garland and Utesch will design the murals this fall, with hopes that the murals are done by next summer.
