Arts Commission beautifying crosswalks

After several weather-related delays, the Sweet Owen Arts Commission revealed its newest public art project, a painted pedestrian crosswalk.

The first painted crosswalk mural is now displayed in front of the Owen County Fairgrounds, near the intersection of South East and East Clay Streets, and is ready to welcome visitors throughout fair season. A future painted crosswalk is planned in front of the Owen County Public Library.

This project was made possible with a grant from the Indiana Health Department. Work began in May with the help of volunteers and community partners, including students from Owen Valley High School who assisted during their day of service.

If you're attending events at the fairgrounds this summer, be sure to stop by and take a look.
