The afternoon also includes a talk and panel discussion at 3 p.m. and reception at 4 p.m..This inspiring exhibit highlights Alan’s designs and architectural contributions to the Fort Wayne skyline during his long career with Grinsfelder Associates Architecture, along with the creativity displayed in his ongoing fine arts endeavors.
