Born and inspired as an arts-based and community-and team building project,  Us By Numbers inspires participants in an interactive way to give back to their community while co-creating what will eventually become one of the largest public arts projects ever recorded. 

Us By Numbers is a huge grass roots public and cultural art endeavor building community, understanding, and awareness throughout the country and world that embodies what we all create by working together.

Using digital technology, high-quality and uniquely locally themed paint by numbers canvas murals are created to event specifications.  The Us By Numbers canvas is then painted and signed by the local community at public event(s).
 
Completed canvases are owned by the local community and grommeted so they may be hung with pride in library's, schools, churches, businesses, community centers and municipal buildings showing what the community has created by working together.

Loaning rights are retained for the completed local canvases so murals from a city, county, state, region, country and eventually the world will be combined into a massive mosaic of what we all can create one brush stroke at a time.

The goal for the project in a straight line is 12 miles over the next 5 years.
 


To date, more than 1,500 community artists have participated, with an estimated audience of 35,000+ people at the 2008 Olympic Diving Trails, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, nationally-renowned outdoor living history museum Conner Prairie, and several celebrated state Historic and Arts Districts.


Completed Canvases thus far can be visited at:
Indianapolis Museum of Art
Conner Prairie Museum
Fountain Square:  Changing monthly between business, churches, libraries and community centers
