As you stroll downtown, take in all of Amazing Arcola's vibrant outdoor art! Fifteen large murals, painted in June 2012 by more than 130 artists from across the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, and Australia, bring Arcola’s rich history to life. These works were created by the Walldogs, a world-renowned group of sign painters and mural artists who travel the globe transforming communities with their vibrant storytelling and timeless craftsmanship.
Don’t just admire the art—become part of it! Strike a pose and float away with the balloons in our Amazing Arcola mural, one of several interactive pieces perfect for playful selfies and family photos. Whether you're lifting off, leaning in, or just having fun, these murals invite you to step into the story and make a memory of your own.
Want to dive deeper into the stories behind the murals? Walldog brochures are available at the Historic Depot, located at 135 Oak Street—your perfect starting point for an art-filled adventure.
In season, our Sweeping Beauties are a must-see! Fourteen oversized, whimsical fiberglass brooms—each designed by artists from around the world—celebrate Arcola’s proud broom-making heritage in a fun and imaginative way.
As you wander the brick-lined streets, you’ll feel the charm and creativity around every corner—where every mural, every broom, and every step tells a piece of the Amazing Arcola story.
