In 2017, Whiteland received its first-ever piece of public art as part of the Johnson County Community Foundation’s “Color the County” program.  The program was begun in 2016 to celebrate the Foundation’s 25th anniversary.  Each year, at least two murals are designed and created by local artists for towns in Johnson County.  For each mural, there is usually a community paint day where locals are invited to participate in the painting of the murals in a “paint by number” system that the artist(s) have created for them.

On the east wall of a local business in Whiteland, Bargersville artist Dave Windisch created a large Valentine’s-Day style heart in shades of red with yellow rays and a light gray shadow.  A red pencil line underneath the heart leads to a large red pencil on the right of the mural.
