2024 Putnam County Mural Festival

The Putnam County Mural Project team is excited to announce the 2024 Putnam County Mural Festival, which will take place September 7-21. Since 2019, our team has commissioned nine murals across our community in Putnam County, IN. This year's festival will be our second, with the first having been held in 2022. Through this work, we are inviting mural artists to join us in continuing to engage the public in meaningful mural-making, with plans to install seven new murals across Putnam County. 

We are more than just a public art organization. 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, and the community is engaged in thoughtful ways. All walls have been selected based on their access to the public.

​

To see the selected walls for this year's festival, please see below. Artists will soon be announced, so please stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
