<br />
The Fine Arts Foundation of Fort Wayne originally proposed the construction of a large complex devoted to the arts in the early 1960s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://artsunited.org/arts-campus/arts-campus-landmarks/au-center|title=Arts United Center {{!}} Arts United|website=artsunited.org|access-date=2019-03-09}}</ref> The foundation compiled an ambitious [[Brief (architecture)|program]] including facilities to support an art school, gallery, theatre, orchestra, historical museum. In 1961, a selection committee commissioned architect [[Louis Kahn]] to design the project based on referral from Philip Johnson.<br />
<br />
Kahn's first plan, presented in 1965, incurred an estimated cost of $20 million, which far exceeded the $2.5 million allocated for the project.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://lakeimagesweb.artic.edu/assets/b5b5cd31-35aa-63d3-db9e-21dc98f40af4|title=Louis Kahn in the Midwest|last=Brown|first=Jack Perry|date=1989|publisher=Art Institute of Chicago}}</ref> In response to financial limitations, the project's scale was limited to the performing arts facilities; The Theatre of Performing Arts is the only realized building in Kahn's design. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.archdaily.com/891939/ad-classics-arts-united-center-louis-kahn|title=AD Classics: Arts United Center / Louis Kahn|date=2018-04-16|website=ArchDaily|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-09}}</ref> Arts United (formerly Fine Arts Foundation) now cares for Arts Campus Fort Wayne, owning and operating the Arts United Center, Hall Community Arts Center, Auer Center for Arts and Culture, and Parkview Physicians Group ArtsLab. The cultural district also includes History Center, Fort Wayne Museum of Art, and Rankin House.<br />
