May 18, 2026 (Fort Wayne, IN) – The Fort Wayne Museum of Art was selected by the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites to receive 14 artworks as part of a broader stewardship initiative with the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) and the IPS Foundation. Through the initiative, the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites received a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to purchase nearly 150 pieces of fine art from IPS’ historic collection. The artworks once hung in IPS schools that have since closed, and the project has brought the pieces out of permanent storage to preserve them and make them available to the public again in museums and cultural institutions across Indiana.
