Batesville student creates artwork displayed downtown

Located on Main Street

(BATESVILLE, Ind.) – Batesville Middle School student Billy Cox designed artwork that can be seen by anyone driving through downtown Batesville. 

It is part of the Art on Main student art project that is organized by the  Batesville Community Education Foundation (BCEF). 

This is the third installation of the school year and it is located on the side of the Simons Company building on Main Street. 

“Art teacher Lynne DiMuzio encouraged students to develop a graphic design to fit our

current theme of ‘Education Everywhere,’” explained BCEF board member and Art on Main chair Ryan Holcomb. “Billy created his mural in art class using colored pencils and Sharpie markers. Our committee selected his entry from among those submitted, noting the unique layout and use of bold colors.”

BCEF’s Art on Main program features artwork from students from the four Batesville

Community School Corporation (BCSC) buildings on a rotating basis. It is made possible by Rowland Graphics, who donates his company’s time to install every mural, and Nick Maple, owner of the building, who provides the use of his location for the display. . 

That mural will remain in place all summer.
