🎨Color, character and community in motion. Meet Alexandra Hall — an Indiana‑based painter whose vivid, surreal worlds spring to life on canvas, and a visionary consultant who activates public space through large‑scale murals and urban art programs. In 2016 we first met Alexandra to hear her story as an emerging artist. In this new episode of arts IN focus we sat back down with her to track her journey. Watch on the PBS Fort Wayne YouTube channel. Link in our bio ➡️🔗

Earlier this year, the loss of both federal and state funding required us to make difficult decisions to ensure PBS Fort Wayne can continue serving our community for years to come. These changes included reductions to staff and programming—among them, the conclusion of arts IN focus, making this the final episode. Thank you for making 10 years of arts IN focus possible! Previous episodes will continue to be available on the PBS Fort Wayne app and the arts IN focus YouTube channel.

Due to the recent losses in federal and state funding, we've been forced to make cuts in both programming, and staff. After 10 years, our local arts series, arts IN focus, is ending. Beginning this Friday, August 15th, we will begin releasing the final 7 segments, with a new one every 3 weeks, on our YouTube channel. We hope you'll continue to "Enjoy something beautiful".
