In 2025 The Essex County Land Bank, in partnership with the North Country Rural Development Coalition (NRDC), will work with the community to install murals in the Town of Ticonderoga. This Mural Festival initiative aims to transform spaces 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.

We would like to help bring more public art to Ticonderoga, NY, and we are asking for YOUR feedback! In addition to historic buildings, well-tended gardens, beautiful lakes, and clean sidewalks, public art can benefit our town. Public art enriches our lives, draws in tourists, fosters local creative talent, encourages economic growth, and beautifies our communities.  Some state-level funding is earmarked for revitalization, and this funding can be used for public art programming.  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 asking Ticonderoga residents to participate in this short anonymous survey. Thank you! [button...
