P.U.M.P
The PUMP project, or Paste Up Mural Project, utilizes the works of local artists to enhance tourist engagement, promote historic centers, and further connect our communities. It allows visitors and community members to explore the local community and districts while the QR codes accompanying each piece promotes the galleries hosting exhibitions of the respective artist.
This project showcases award-winning artwork from Jeffersonville High School, New Albany & Floyd County Schools Student Art Exhibition Winners, and the Ripples Effect Photo Contest Winners. Through a collaboration with ArtSeed, the exhibit also pairs these student works with pieces by professional artists that inspired these young artists.
The paste ups will be displayed through now until the end of 2027 in the five featured locations listed below.

(2023 Description)
THE PROJECT
PUMP is directed by Julie Schweitzer at ArtSeed Inc and a partnership with the Louisville Photo Biennial.
Using an innovative and eye-catching process that allows photographs to be printed and pasted in public spaces, a myriad of temporary works of art will be pasted in various sites, on buildings, and other public furnishings across Indiana and Kentucky. With an emphasis on displaying Indiana artists in Kentucky and Kentucky artists in Indiana, PUMP's goal is to generate more kentuckiana tourism and connectivity. Each piece will be equipped with a QR code and a walkable tour map. With just a scan, onlookers can find details about the venue through their website, explore the digital tour guide, and learn more information about the project from the Official Photo Biennial site.
The pieces last for more than a year and are easily removable with no damage to the substrate to which they are attached. The PASTE UP MURAL PROJECT (PUMP) will include professional photographers from each venue in Indiana and Kentucky. In addition to 50 professional Photo Biennial exhibitions, PUMP will be partnering with Floyd County Parks, the Ripples Effect Children’s Photo Contest, and the NA/FC Secondary School Show winners, to exhibit the work of children in the region.
The Louisville Photo Biennial has received support from the Caesar’s Foundation of Floyd County.
