The Local Archive Grand Re-Opening & Ribbon Cutting

Thursday, August 6, 2026 (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

Come celebrate and commemorate The Local Archive!

Five years ago, we opened our doors with a vision: to bring elevated, intentional creative space to Fort Wayne.
What started as a humble idea has grown into The Local Archive. We became a collective home for photographers, performers, storytellers, makers, and community.

This is our party. And you're invited.

118 W. Columbia St. Suite 201
