From 2013 - 2023, the Fort Wayne Artist Guild was proud to organize and host the Kekionga Plein Air Event, a plein air competition in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with Awards being presented during the Fort Wayne Taste of the Arts Festival hosted by Arts United.

In 2024, we passed the reins of this fantastic event to the Northern Indiana Plein Air Artists. The event has since been renamed Paint It Fresh: The Fort Wayne Plein Air Competition and Art Sale.
