When artists encounter a plain wall on a building, they see it as a blank canvas waiting to be filled with color and beauty. Kokomo has an abundance of fascinating murals on the sides of buildings along trails, in downtown, or on the side of a mall. Here are some of the murals that would make exciting backdrops for pictures.

The newest of the mural lineup, this stunning artwork honors the sacrifice and bravery of five Howard County Tuskegee Airmen with intricate portraits and a historical legacy.
Welcome to Kokomo Mural-Markland Mall
It’s hard to miss this bold and colorful postcard-style display when you are driving on the north side of State Rd. 931! Featured on the wall are images of Kokomo’s famous landmarks, attractions, and companies such as Kokomo Municipal Stadium, IUK and Ivy Tech, Old Ben, and more.
Muck Rock Basset Hound Mural-downtown on Industrial Heritage Trail North End
