Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The Kosciusko County Convention & Visitors Bureau is hosting a popsicle party and ribbon-cutting to celebrate their new mural and allow people to meet the artists behind the work.
These events will take place on Aug. 8 at the Visitors Center in Warsaw with the ribbon cutting at 1:30 p.m. and the Popsicle Party from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. The mural artists, Erica Deuel and Beth Williman from Spoonful of Imagination, will offer kids’ art activities and hand out popsicles while supplies last. Attendees can admire the new mural and take pictures in front of it.
Last January, Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC) launched the IN Indiana Public Art Activation Grant, the goal of which is to give local artists and communities the unique opportunities to create artwork and signage with the new IN Indiana brand incorporated into it. KCCVB applied for and received the grant last spring and chose Deuel and Williman’s design for the mural.
This new mural is designed to represent the over 100 lakes in the county. It is also designed to be photogenic so visitors and residents alike will use it as a backdrop for their next social media post, helping promote the area further. This piece of art will be added to the All Things Art Map and the Public Art Trail Challenge Passport, drawing more people to the Visitor Center.
“We are excited to provide the community with an event where they can explore the new mural and meet the artists behind the work. This piece of art will help show why the place to live, work, learn and play is Clearly Kosciusko IN Indiana,” said Cori Humes, executive director of KCCVB.
