Pulaski County is home to a rich variety of plants and wildlife. In an effort to celebrate and commemorate these aspects, the public is encouraged to cast their vote for one of 5 subjects for artwork to be prominently displayed as a part of the Pulaski County Tribe Art in the Park project.
The options include a turtle, sunflowers, otter, cattails, and blue heron. A selection will be made based on votes and funding available. In addition to the public’s selection of an art component, the organization is working on a surprise piece of art for public enjoyment.
Votes can be cast online using the QR code or link below, as well as in-person on a paper form at the
Winamac, Francesville, and Monterey libraries.
