Mammoth Park Art Installation

Downtown Wabash Inc. is proud to announce the completion and installation of a stunning new mosaic

art project at Mammoth Park, bringing fresh color, creativity, and community pride to one of Downtown

Wabash’s signature locations.

Community members gathered on May 1st for a special ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony to

celebrate the completion of the project and recognize the many individuals who contributed to its

success. The event highlighted the impact of public art, strengthening community connections and

enhancing the beauty of Downtown Wabash.

The mosaic pieces were officially installed on April 22nd by Kevin Brainerd, whose craftsmanship and

expertise helped bring the vision to life. Additional support for the installation was provided by Mark

Sorg, who assisted in ensuring the project had the materials and resources necessary for completion.

The custom metal structures supporting the mosaics were designed and fabricated by Schlemmer

Brothers Metalworks, adding both durability and artistic character to the installation.

This community art initiative was made possible through the generosity of donors who believe in

investing in public spaces and supporting the arts in Wabash. From the earliest stages of planning and

design to the final installation, the project spanned nearly 18 months and represented a collaborative

effort between artists, volunteers, community partners, and supporters.

Downtown Wabash Inc. would also like to recognize the exceptional creativity and dedication of local

artists Diane Weekley, Leslie Vigar, Erika Ford-Clement and Julie Dickey. Their artistic vision, countless

hours of work, and passion for community art were instrumental in creating the intricate mosaic pieces

that now brighten Mammoth Park. Each mosaic reflects not only artistic talent but also the collaborative

spirit that continues to make Wabash a vibrant and welcoming community.

“These mosaics are a beautiful reflection of the creativity, collaboration, and community pride that make

Wabash so special,” said Mikka Hunt, Director of Downtown Wabash Inc. “This project brought together

talented artists, generous supporters, skilled craftsmen, and community members who all shared the

same vision of creating something meaningful for Downtown Wabash.”

The updated mosaics now serve as a vibrant focal point within Mammoth Park, offering residents and

visitors alike an inviting and artistic space to gather, reflect, and enjoy Downtown Wabash. Downtown

Wabash Inc. hopes the installation will continue to inspire community engagement, creativity, and

appreciation for public art for years to come.
