We’re the Indiana Uplands, where the arts thrive in many forms — unique art galleries, historic theaters, music festivals, and artisan fairs. Of course we have beautiful, eye-popping murals in our communities!
From colorful murals displaying historic figures to picturesque paintings on the side of buildings welcoming visitors to communities, you will find awe-inspiring art in many of our communities!
The Indiana Destination Development Corporation funds these public art projects spread across the state. Each mural project incorporates the “IN Indiana” campaign in a unique way that captures the spirit of each local community.
