AUBURN, Ind. — The Downtown Auburn Business Association and Auburn Main Street have announced plans for the 2025 downtown summer art exhibit.
This year’s exhibit “Downtown in Full Swing” will feature 20 wooden porch swings. The porch swings will be constructed by local carpenter Craig Presley from 4 Quarter Wood Products of Pleasant Lake.
The exhibit will be the sixteenth outdoor art exhibit raising money for the Downtown Business Association.
As with previous exhibits the swings will be placed throughout historic downtown Auburn and will feature art from local and regional artists. The swings will be placed on removable stands for the duration of the exhibit.
Cash awards will be presented at the end of the exhibit. Entries will be juried by the University of Saint Francis art department.
The swings will be auctioned at the completion of the exhibit with proceeds split between each artist and DABA.
Area artists interested in participating in the exhibit may pick up an application and artist guidelines at Carbaugh Jewelers, 108 E. Seventh Street, Auburn, or by visiting the DABA website at daba4auburn.org.
Deadline for registration is Friday, March 14. The final 20 artists will be selected by the DABA art committee from all applications submitted.
The swings will be on display from June through September.
