INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC) announced Monday more than $240,000 will fund 49 public art projects across the state.

Each of the 49 organizations received a non-matching grant of up to $5,000 to fund an art project in their community.

Locally, the Town of Brookville was among the 49 recipients.

Applicants had to provide a location, local or regional artist and estimated costs, including supplies and artist fees. Potential public art locations include but are not limited to exterior walls, water towers, alleyways, bridges, barns and more.

"Projects selected were based on location and visibility to Indiana residents and visitors," Elaine Bedel, IDDC's Secretary and CEO said. "The hope is to create photo opportunities while promoting Indiana."

All designs must receive final approval from IDDC, and artist projects are expected to be completed by October 31.
