Community request!! We are looking for a few donations of artificial Christmas trees so that we can decorate a photo area as part of this year's Christmas Uptown. If you're looking to get rid of one, we would love to take it off your hands! We need maybe five of them, in different sizes, so even a little one would be helpful, and they DO NOT need to be lighted, but stands would be helpful. If you have one to give away, we can pick up in town! Feelfree to comment below or DM us. Thanks in advance!🌲🌲🌲

Our Murals + Art Team has been busy working with student artists throughout the community! We, along with art classes from ACA and MCHS are creating ideas, plans, and sketches to start our next project: TINY MURALS! With the help of your generous donations so far, we are able to kick off this fun project to fill Market Street with art inside and out.
Here's the plan: our students and other area artists will be painting cleverly placed tiny images around the Market Street District. This “Tiny Mural Program” is about to begin, and since many of them will be inside, we can keep the painting going through the winter months!
These tiny murals will include subjects that relate to businesses in each location, done in collaboration with the business/building owners, so if you have a Market Street business and want to participate, let us know. Once the work is complete, we will create a brochure listing all locations with tiny paintings, allowing our community and visitors to enjoy a scavenger hunt to find all of the "hidden" art work!
The first of the Tiny Murals has secretly already been done by our "Lone Ranger" artist, Elias Reynolds. See if you can find the newly added hamburger painting at the one and only Two Farmers restaurant!
Thank you all for the support you have shown and any additional support that you will show us in the future! Let's keep making Market Street beautiful together!

Mt. Carmel Street Department employees Brenda Burton, Bryce Thompson and Jesse Jones (Austin Saltsgaver was unavailable for the photo) finish hanging of the last of 48 new banners placed on Market Street last week. The banners were a project of the Market Street MTC Beautification Team, and were jointly sponsored by First National Bank, Wabash General Hospital and the City of Mt. Carmel. For more information on projects by MSMTC Teams, or to donate to these projects, go to www.marketstreetmtc.org

Hey art lovers!! This show opening for Vincennes artist Sarah Wolfe is happening tonight at the college!

Friday night's Jimmy Fortune concert was a fantastic evening with a packed house! Thank you to so many for attending and sponsoring, we can't do what we do without all of you. There is so much yet to happen this season and we are just getting started. And by the way, we also like to present art exhibitions in our gallery from time to time. We are fortunate to have a wonderful exhibit that just arrived by artist Sarah Wolfe. We will be having an opening reception at 6pm (CT) on Wednesday Oct 22 at The Brubeck Gallery with cookies and drink. There might even be some popcorn available as well (we are also having a movie night in the theatre). So stop by and enjoy this exhibit that includes both beautiful print work and sculpture.

Elias Reynolds Art worked day and night to complete The Lone Ranger Mural 🐎

A day and a half and he had it FINISHED ✅️

Not gonna lie, we are still in disbelief that Mural #1 is complete!

It is all thanks to the generous donors who made it happen!

We want to specifically thank The City of Mt. Carmel for their large contributions to this project! Without them, we may not have met our goal of finishing before 2026!

As of today, we have raised a little over $2,000 for our next project.

With a goal of $9,500, we are getting closer and closer to being able to finish ANOTHER MURAL before the end of the year!

If you would please consider donating, we would be EXTREMELY grateful!

Just follow the link below if you would like to make a donation! 👇

(Checks may also be made to Market Street MTC and mailed to PO Box 305 in Mt. Carmel.)

We appreciate you all!

Our next mural is TWICE AS LARGE.

The Lone Ranger Mural was made possible by community donations…

That's precisely what it will take for our next projects to be completed, and we are raising that money RIGHT NOW.

We have our wall.

We have our concept.

We have our team.

We simply need the funds.

Our goal? $9,500. Our timeline to raise it? 1 Month!

If we can do that, we can complete the next mural (and another TOP SECRET project involving local Junior and High School artists) by the end of 2025!

We are relying on donations to do this. Whether it be 9,500 people donating $1… or 1 person donating $9,500… We will be tremendously grateful for anything you can contribute. 🙏

$5, $20, $100, $1000 - every donation is tax deductible with the receipt provided, and 100% will be used for project expenses. This is an ambitious mission we are on, but we know we can meet this goal with the community's help.

Please share this post to help us get the word out. We are counting on everybody to fill Market Street with more beautiful works of art!

👉The painted sidewalk extension of our
banner project on Market Street is complete!

🙏Huge thanks to the MCHS Art Class that has been helping us paint the last three nights! We couldn't have done it without them!

📷The idea behind the painted sidewalk was creating a photo op and fully immersive experience.. like hopping right into 1940's Market Street!

💥Please stop by, grab a quick pic, and tag Market Street MTC!

And while you're here, you might just see
something else exciting going on right across the street... 🐎
