Every October, Brookville’s Main Street comes alive with color, creativity, and community spirit as local art students transform storefront windows into festive Halloween masterpieces. The long-standing tradition, carried on through the Brookville Area High School art program, brings together students, businesses, and residents in a celebration of local talent and fall fun.
The votes have been counted, competition was tight and talent was high! A panel of judges selected the top winners, while the community showed up for their favorites to cast nearly 150 total votes in the People’s Choice Award. Trophies were presented to recognize each group for their outstanding work.

- 1st Place: Leah Barnacastle & Rayna Silvis

The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce extends a special thank-you to the participating businesses who offered their windows as canvases, and to the Brookville art instructors for continuing to inspire the next generation of local artists.
Each fall, this project turns downtown Brookville into an open-air gallery — proving once again that creativity, community, and tradition make for a beautiful combination.
