There’s a new mural in town.

In September 2025, Electric Works welcomed internationally renowned artist Damien Mitchell to complete a 15,000-square-foot mural, the largest in the City of Fort Wayne. Damien, known worldwide for his bold and vibrant style, mentored three talented local artists, Hannah Boersema, Bernadette Fellows and Chrystel Lopez, who worked alongside him to complete this large-scale public art initiative.

Funding for the project was allotted by The Public Art Giveback Program, a funding instrument for the City of Fort Wayne’s Public Art Program. Electric Works contributed to this fund and shares deep appreciation for public art consultant Alexandra Hall and the City of Fort Wayne Public Art Commission, who selected, reviewed and approved the artist and the design from a vast pool of national and international proposals.

Together, this team transformed the Union Parking Garage into a cultural destination that blends international artistry with local talent.

Public Art

Supporting Public Art is core to our ethos at Electric Works. To date, we’ve supported dozens of local artists commissioning mural across campus. Theoplis Smith III’s mural embodies the story of this historically significant campus. As you pass through the tunnel, take note of the artwork which highlights the evolution of General Electric in Fort Wayne. The viewer is catapulted back to the 1880 origins of the company–the 140 year old drawing board. Consider the golden era of the trolley cars that once rode along rails embedded into the pavement and helped transport some of the 20,000 General Electric employees to and from work. Consider that for over 100 years thousands of people traversed this tunnel on their daily walk to work. As the viewer walks toward campus and deeper into the tunnel, notice that the artwork  introduces visitors to a reimagined and renovated Electric Works campus. Today, Electric Works serves as the heart of innovation, collaboration, programming and cultural change for Northeast Indiana.
