Huntington County is home to a surprising array of cultural organizations and centers. The Merillat Centre for the Arts on the campus of Huntington University is a regionally recognized hub for the performing and visual arts. Annually, the Merillat Centre hosts a wide variety of professional performances, ranging from chamber music to country gospel, from classical ballet to laser light shows. The acclaimed Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra considers the Merillat Centre its “home away from home,” and performs here regularly.

The Merillat Centre’s Robert E. Wilson Gallery showcases both professional and student art exhibits.

The LaFontaine Arts Council expands the artistic horizons of area schoolchildren. The Council sponsors professional performances in area schools, and hosts “Arts Express,” an annual exhibit of student artwork.

Homegrown talent abounds in Huntington County. The Pulse Opera House in Warren presents delightful melodramas, comedies, and musicals. The Huntington Theatre Guild, a self-sustaining not-for-profit-organization, also provides a wide range of theatrical entertainment and a means for artistic expression for area residents.
