Following the success of our 2022 Putnam County Mural Festival, we are happy to announce the addition of seven new murals across Putnam County, IN during our 2024 Putnam County Mural Festival. Wall locations will be in Cloverdale, Bainbridge, Greencastle, Reelsville, and Russellville. Mural artists are invited to apply now through April 26 @ 11:59pm. 

 

We believe murals have the ability to transform communities by celebrating heritage, creating civic pride, and enriching lives through participatory art-making. This is best accomplished when murals are used to activate spaces in areas that are otherwise overlooked.

​

Chosen artists will be asked to work in tandem with the Putnam County Mural Project team in order to produce work that is reflective of and responsive to the Putnam County community. Chosen artists will be required to sign a contract that outlines the needs and responsibilities of their work leading up to and throughout the festival itself. The timeline below outlines important due dates throughout the process for selected artists.

​

• March 25, 2024: Applications Open

• April 26, 2024, 11:59pm EST: Artist Application Deadline
