Including an exciting collaboration with the Fort Wayne Ballet’s production of Midsummer Night’s DreamFort Wayne, Indiana (April 1, 2026) – The Fort Wayne Museum of Art is pleased to announce an exhibition by iconic American artist Chuck Sperry, opening April 25, 2026 through August 09, 2026.

All the works shown in the exhibition will join Chuck Sperry’s Archive in FWMoA’s Permanent Collection.
Chuck Sperry is an American printmaking master known for his psychedelic rock-and-roll posters full of intricate details, bold colors, and visually striking imagery. In his personal artistic practice, Ancient Greece has served as a source of inspiration for Sperry for its rich mythological history and its pioneering of a democratic society. The Greek Muses, nine goddesses of the arts and sciences, represent Sperry’s commitment to exploring the relationship between art, nature, and social commentary in the modern world.
Guests are invited to a book signing with Chuck Sperry on April 25th from 1-4pm as he releases his new book, Archetypes, available for purchase on April 24th in the FWMoA Paradigm Gallery. The book signing is included with FWMoA admission. No special tickets are required.
