Danville and Vermilion County are becoming well known for their wall murals. It began with a Walldog sign painter’s reunion held here in the summer of 2010, when approximately 125 artists came from as far away as New Zealand and British Columbia to transform downtown Danville, literally overnight. More murals popped up in Danville, and other Vermilion County towns, illustrating our area’s pride in our history and art. Check out our website www.visitdanvillearea.com for other murals in our communities. To check for updates or arrange a group tour of the initial murals, email [email protected] or call 217-442-2096.
