Silent Roots Group Show at the Krull Gallery: An Exhibition of Collaboration, Creativity, and Community
Opening Reception: August 9th, 3–5 PM
Krull Gallery, Downtown Fort Wayne ACPL
Fort Wayne, IN – Studio Vwazen is excited to present the Silent Roots group show at the Krull Gallery, showcasing the work of twelve talented artists from the Studio Vwazen community. The exhibition will open with a reception on August 9th from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, and all are invited to join us for light refreshments and an opportunity to connect with the artists.
This year’s show highlights the collaborative spirit that defines Studio Vwazen’s artist programs, with a special focus on our 2025 Photography Program. Over the past three months, photographers from our studio worked closely together, developing the theme of Silent Roots and contributing to the conceptual and physical backdrop for their in-studio shoots. This theme, an exploration of connection to nature and community, is a reflection of Studio Vwazen’s ongoing commitment to fostering artistic collaboration and community engagement.
Throughout the program, three professional photographers joined the studio, guiding our artists through various technical techniques, including lighting, model direction, and shooting in the unpredictable natural landscape. This mentorship was instrumental in helping our artists refine their craft, gain confidence, and approach their work from fresh perspectives. The collaborative process, which has become a hallmark of Studio Vwazen, allowed artists to engage deeply with one another, sharing knowledge and growing together as both individuals and a collective creative force.
Studio Vwazen, located in the heart of Fort Wayne, is dedicated to inspiring creative connection within our community, particularly in the 46803 zip code, the lowest income area in the state of Indiana. Through our annual artist programs, we bring together diverse voices and backgrounds, building bridges between artists, local residents, and art lovers.
Each year, our artists collaborate intensively in the studio for three months, culminating in a group show that celebrates their growth, technical development, and unique perspectives. This program provides a platform for emerging artists to refine their skills, build their artistic networks, and showcase their work in a professional setting, preparing them for the next steps in their careers.
Don’t miss the chance to experience the beauty of collaboration and creativity at Silent Roots. Join us at the Krull Gallery on August 9th from 3–5 PM for the opening reception and be a part of this remarkable community-driven event.
