The project raises awareness that everything entering a storm drain flows directly into our creeks, streams and rivers.<\/p>\n<p>Since its launch in 2021, more than 130 storm drain murals have shared the vital message that our storm drains are the gateways to our rivers and caring for them protects our rivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the Artists in Action<\/strong><br \/>\nThis year\u2019s mural installations will overlap with Open Streets and Taste of the Arts, giving residents and visitors the chance to enjoy the festivities and see the artists as they create.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amanda Foley \u2013 SW intersection of Berry &#038; Barr Street<\/li>\n<li>Cristina Aguilar \u2013 Clinton Street side at Freimann Square<\/li>\n<li>Megan Weigand \u2013 Northwest corner of Pearl &#038; Harrison Street<\/li>\n<li>Elliana Heintz \u2013 800 block of Calhoun Street (during Open Streets)<\/li>\n<li>Cassidy Merkle \u2013 Southeast corner of Barr &#038; Wayne Street<\/li>\n<li>Nicholas Sprunger \u2013 1020 Calhoun Street (during Open Streets)<\/li>\n<li>Kelsey Herber \u2013 Foellinger Parking Lot &#8211; Fort Wayne Children\u2019s Zoo<\/li>\n<li>Lauren Woodman \u2013 1000 block of North Wells Street<\/li>\n<li>Haley Tabb \u2013 Southwest corner of Brackenridge &#038; McClellan &#8211; Parkview Field<\/li>\n<li>Sherry Brown \u2013 2100 Block of Edgehill south of State Boulevard<\/li>\n<li>Amanda Dornbush \u2013 100 block of East Berry near Courthouse Green<\/li>\n<li>Casey Stanley \u2013 Southwest corner of Main &#038; Maiden Lane<\/li>\n<li>Jeremy Stroup \u2013 Southwest corner of West Berry &#038; Harrison Street<\/li>\n<li>Suzanne Rhee \u2013 Completed wall mural at WaterWorks FunFest on the grounds of City Utilities\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Water Pollution Control Plant<\/p>\n<p><strong>Celebrate our Rivers with Art, Protect them with Action<\/strong><br \/>\nFort Wayne has over 23,000 storm drains, and each one leads straight to our waterways. Trash, chemicals and pet waste that enter a drain end up polluting the rivers that define our city. Clean Drains Fort Wayne was created to change that dynamic \u2014 and it\u2019s working. Volunteers have been cleaning drains all year, with hundreds of individuals, families and neighborhood associations already joining the effort.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be an artist to make a difference. By registering at <a href=\"https:\/\/utilities.cityoffortwayne.org\/cleandrains2024\" target=\"_blank\">CleanDrainsintheFort.org<\/a> and adopting a drain, residents will receive free cleanup kits, including gloves, trash bags, chalk (for sidewalk art), and \u201cOnly Rain in the Drain\u201d medallions.
