Hues Of Hendricks County
These five public murals, each uniquely inspired by their surroundings, celebrates our community’s culture, creativity, and connection
The Hendricks County Arts Council and Visit Hendricks County proudly announce the launch of the Hues of Hendricks County Public Art Initiative. This ambitious project will bring five vibrant public art installations to communities across the county, enhancing cultural pride, fostering community engagement, and revitalizing public spaces.
The Hues of Hendricks County Public Art Initiative represents a collective effort to celebrate the rich culture and diversity of our communities. By transforming public spaces through art, this placemaking initiative aims to create a more appealing destination that inspires community pride and enhances quality of place.
The initiative is made possible, in part, by a matching grant from the READI 180 in Color program, which supports transformative community projects through funding and collaboration.

We are seeking a bold and dynamic sculptural public art piece to be installed on the exterior of the Center Street Parking Garage in downtown Plainfield. This artwork should celebrate an aspect of the town’s history and/or community identity and should be designed to push creative boundaries, making it a visually captivating experience both day and night. More than just an installation, this artwork will serve as a signature feature of Plainfield, sparking curiosity, inspiring pride, and redefining the parking structure and alley as a destination in itself.
