Expand your horizons even further

In 2020, the Northeast Indiana Make It Your Own Mural Fest brought artists from near and far who produced several new murals in communities across the 11-county Northeast Indiana region. This enriching experience provided tens of thousands of residents - and travelers - a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors and be enriched during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, the murals stand in tribute to one of the most collaborative regions in the nation!

The map below provides a trail to view all eleven "Make It Your Own" murals.
