The Garden is an open-concept, creative space and rentable venue, dedicated to creating community and launching local creatives. The space’s tagline “a place to grow” is exactly what they are after. The venue is an indoor-outdoor re-imagining of an old bank building, next to Lassus/Wendy’s on the east side of the street.
The space is part co-creating space, part art gallery/venue, part community incubator. Efforts of the husband-wife creative leadership team (Chad & Lesa Van Meter) are focused on connecting local students, artists, and innovators into community and ultimately into creating a thriving cultural life in the 05.
The couple has lived in the 05 neighborhood for almost 20 years and know well the strengths and needs of the North Anthony Corridor. They are excited to be part of a long history of creative businesses along the Corridor, where local boutique shops have thrived for decades. “We believe this area has great potential to be a critical part of Fort Wayne’s overall urban improvement,” said Chad.
The Garden hopes to bolster particularly the east side of the Corridor. “We have a lot of thriving businesses on the west side of North Anthony, we hope we can facilitate some growth and energy on this side.” Being just 5 minutes from downtown and home to three of our universities, the Corridor really could earn the name "the Gateway to Downtown.” “It feels like the closest thing Fort Wayne has to a Campus Village. We are so proud of this area and hope to encourage many others to recognize this incredible neighborhood.”
