With the support of the Indiana Arts Commission, the Greencastle Arts Council and Putnam County Museum collaborated on a joint project that in the span of three short years has blossomed into a local tradition: the Putnam County Adult Visual Arts Exhibition. In addition to First- and Second- place prizes, funds received through the IAC award also supported an annual Purchase Prize for the Putnam County Museum, designed to add significantly to the museum’s collection over time.

​

     The 2022 exhibit included works by 35 artists — all of whom have lived, worked, studied or were born in Putnam County. It explored a diversity of talent and creative mediums ranging from 2-D painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and collage, to 3-D sculpture, jewelry making and stoneware ceramics.
