About Artlink Artlink on Facebook
Artlink was incorporated in 1978. Artlink's mission is to showcase work of the highest quality by emerging and mid-career artists and provide educational programs for the community. In 1991 Artlink became one of the 10 funded members of Arts United and moved into the newly renovated Hall Community Art Center. Artlink has received annual funding from the Indiana Arts Commission since 1979. Artlink is governed by a 20 member Board of Directors.
Artlink holds 9 original exhibitions in the Main Gallery and 9 exhibitions in the Push Pin Gallery which features member artists. The Artist Panel is responsible for the exhibition schedule. The exhibition schedule is planned two years in advance while the hallway gallery is scheduled a year out. To learn more about exhibiting opportunities please visit the Calls for Entry page.

We do our best to stay informed and connected to what is happening in the Fort Wayne art community to answer these questions.
