Downtown Evansville Seeking Artists to Paint Select Gas Meters
The Main Street Walkway has become a destination for residents to enjoy a great meal, shop at local businesses, enjoy live entertainment, or any combination of the three. That s thanks in large part to the Downtown Evansville Economic Improvement District who have made it their mission to make downtown a place residents want to visit and explore.
Over the years, the group has made a point to add some curb appeal to the Walkway with the help of local artists who have been hired to put their imaginations to work and add some color to select parts of the area. For example, Game Room Alley between 3rd and 4th Streets, and the mural at Self-e-Alley on that same block. Both not only add a splash of color to the Walkway, they serve a double purpose as also being interactive pieces of art making them another one of the destinations the Walkway has to offer.

The Downtown Evansville Economic Improvement District works hard to serve the residents and businesses of downtown Evansville. They are always bringing fun events downtown, and adding fun things to do like Game Room Alley and Self.e Alley. Not to mention they pretreated downtown sidewalks before the snow today (January 27th). Now they re looking for ice sculptors.
They re hoping to bring even more winter fun and festivities to downtown. They shared on Facebook they re hoping to do fun things like what they do in downtown Grand Rapids. The pictures they shared were pictures of an ice sculpted foosball table, an ice sculpted checkers board, and an ice sculpted Connect 4 board. How fun would that be? Besides being really cool, they also just look really pretty too.
