Participating artists 2025
Artwork updates for 2025:
Some fenceline artwork will be changed, some artwork on the TISCO office building and Shop E building will be replaced and new artwork put up. These will be on display for the year.
On September 13th, you can witness live muralists painting some of the new pieces to go on display during a Mural Competition lead by Artist Jonathan Robert Bleibdrey of Our Natural State. There will also be a few temporary sculptural pieces you’ll only get to witness in person during the event.
A big Thank You! to our Artists for believing in this project.
Come see what’s been added!
