In June 2025, Walls Between Waters will transform near blighted, vacant, and abandoned properties through public art installations. This new public art will foster community pride and encourage economic revitalization. The project will focus on the creation of five murals in the downtown corridor, accompanied by a community festival.

Mural festivals involve the implementation of a group of murals in a condensed time frame. All of the Walls Between Waters murals will be located within easy walking distance. The festival atmosphere draws media attention and outside visitors while inviting residents to be part of the public art creation. The mural festival in Ticonderoga will culminate on the final day of the event, June 7, 2025, when all the murals are complete and celebrated with fanfare!

Do you want to get more involved? The Essex County Land Bank and the North Country Rural Development Coalition (NRDC) are evaluating the community’s interest in public art, and we are encouraging Ticonderoga residents to participate in this short anonymous survey.
