Add a Mural to Your Building

Attention Ticonderoga Building Owners: Apply here to host a mural on your public wall space!

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.

Below is our online application. If you need any assistance with the application, please call our office at 518-585-6366. We are also happy to mail you a paper copy!
