The public is invited to showcase their artistic talents!  All skill levels are welcome to contribute to a community mural at the Dublin Skating Rink. The community mural is a part of the 2024 Wayne County Murals Program and is designed by Indianapolis-based artist, Joy Hernandez.

Other activities will include opportunities for sidewalk drawings, coloring pages for kids, and a firetruck sprinkler party by the Dublin Fire Department. Snow-cones will be available. All events are free.

The community mural painting event is part of the 2024 Wayne County Murals Program Competition  being held this summer. Eleven artists were selected from as far away as Germany and Canada to design and install murals throughout Wayne County to win cash prizes. Wayne County is currently home to over 90 towering pieces of art and with the addition of the new eleven murals, will help contribute to Wayne County’s already awe-inspiring cultural attractions.

The event takes place Saturday & Sunday, July 20 and 21, 2024 at the Dublin Skating Rink, 1764 S. Foundry Rd., Dublin, Indiana, from 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. each day. To join in the activities, please RSVP with your name, phone number and ages of persons in your party to [email protected].  Participants will be required to sign a release of liability form. For more information, call Pamela Bliss, Wayne County Murals Program Manager, at (317) 696-7349. The Wayne County Mural Festival is funded thru the Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program (HELP), Wayne County Foundation, and Wayne County Convention and Tourism Bureau.
