Promoting arts and culture is the main goal of the festival (one stage was just added last week!).[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]About 40 arts and culture organizations set-up displays around Freimann Square offering hands-on activities and information about their different programs. Face painting, dance workshops, an instrument playground, and poetry readings are just a sampling of activities to try.[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Busker Square &#8211; a new partnership with Arts United and the Downtown Improvement District (DID) brings the art of street performing into Freimann Square for the day. The DID is sponsoring a full-line up of scheduled acts as well as bringing buskers to demonstrate a variety of skills and talents around the festival grounds. To participate as a street performer, contact Katherine Walker at the DID 420-3266, ext. 307 or <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"mailto:Katherine@downtownfortwayne.com\">Katherine@downtownfortwayne.com<\/span>.[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]New this year, the new Auer Center for Arts and Culture will host an acoustic stage inside, tours will be offered and the Fort Wayne Ballet will have rehearsals throughout the day. The Music Variety stage will be located in the parking lot next to Auer instead of at the Hall Community Arts Building.[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Great food will be a highlight of the festival with over 30 local restaurants selling samples from their menu. Beer and wine will be served and this year festival goers will be able to carry their beverages around the grounds, rather than being in a designated area. Tickets for food and beverages will be $1 each, with most items ranging from 1 to 4 tickets. Restaurants will be contributing half their proceeds to Arts United for arts education grants to area schools and cultural district projects. <a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2011\/08\/15\/2011-taste-of-the-arts-restaurant-list\/\">List of participating restaurants<\/a>[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]An Art Marketplace will feature 15 artists selling their high-quality works and the Museum of Art will be free all day with two new exhibits: We are the Ship, The Story of Negro League Baseball: Original Paintings by Kadir Nelson and Steven Sorman: Works from the Collection.[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]Fort Wayne Trails will have the bike valet in the lawn by the Arts United Center.

The trolley will connect Dessert, the last Rock the Plaza for the summer and a Tin Caps game ending with fireworks. The first and last stop for the trolley will be at the corner of Lafayette and Main Street.[\/li]<br \/>\n[li]The Mariott Courtyard is offering a special rate to festival patrons who want to stay and enjoy downtown night life.<br \/>\nArts United will use this event as an annual catalyst to fund new projects. This year, proceeds from food, beverage sales and goodwill donations will be used to expand a grant fund for schools for artist-in-residence programs or for field trips to local cultural institutions. If the festival raises enough funds, some of the proceeds will go toward other new grant programs and cultural district funding as well.[\/li]<br \/>\n[\/list]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sponsors for Taste of the Arts<\/strong> make the event possible.
