Audiences Unlimited,
Inc. (AUI) is a 501(c) (3) grassroots organization with
a keen awareness of the powerful connection between the
arts and a healthier quality of life for long-term care
residents. With a mission of uniting special audiences
with the local arts community, Audiences has been a
powerful force in Allen County since 1972. This
collaboration benefits Allen County and NE Indiana with
more than 95% of the long-term care facilities, as well
as one hospital and two subsidized apartment communities
participating.
Today, the organization is a valued and integral
extension of the long-term care community in Fort Wayne,
Indiana and its surround area. It brings wide scale
community involvement benefiting an audience that is
commonly overlooked. More than 100 professional artists,
entertainers, small groups, soloists, and certified
music therapists perform annually reaching a total
audience of 120,000 + attendees. Long-term care
residents enjoy a well-rounded program with onsite
entertainment, programs benefiting victims of
Alzheimer's and the very ill, and free access to a host
of cultural activities that take place throughout the
greater community.
