Placemaking that brought renowned artists (and tourists) to a historic town.

Village of Stockton, IL - Placemaking

Stockton is a small town outside of Galena with a rich history unknown to visitors and many residents alike. We needed to creatively share that story in a way that honored the past and looked to the future. 

All Together brought together a team of artists, writers, and fabricators to weave together a narrative that positions Stockton as a place for trailblazers, wonder seekers, and curious dreamers—past and present. The program name and brand–Adventures in Stockton–speaks to this character of discovery and that there is more than meets the eye. The full program introduced three large-scale murals, five illustrated window installations, two historical figure light-up installations, 14 signage panels, and one parklet.
