ABOUT >

#PAINTGARY is a movement organized to fill the City of Gary with vibrant and thought-provoking public art. The installations invite exploration of downtown Gary and help residents and visitors bridge the gap between residential neighborhoods and the city center. Culminating in a self-guided walkable and bike-friendly tour that encourages people to explore their local surroundings.
