Windows on Tippecanoe 2008
The Downtown Tipp City Partnership and Tipp Monroe Community Services are proud to present Windows on Tippecanoe, a summer-long art installation to be located in historic downtown Tipp City during the summer months of 2008.

Description
Area artists will be creating unique and original works of art, fashioned to appear as windows and covered with frames to complete the illusion. To see a list of the artists involved, click here. Upwards of 50 of these original creations will adorn a downtown local building for the public and visitors to view and enjoy. This celebration of our local community through art will be displayed from June 14 to September 21st in downtown Tipp City. Near the close of the installation, a Windows on Tippecanoe Gala will be held on October 4. Invited guests and locals will be invited to participate in a live auction of the artworks.
