High Art Indy — A New City-Wide Public Art Project

INDIANAPOLIS — The Arts Council of Indianapolis, in partnership with Clear Channel Outdoor, is creating a new city-wide public art project offering a larger than life opportunity to central Indiana artists. The project will take original artwork from artists wishing to participate, reproduce each image in large-scale (14’ x 48’), and place them on available billboard spaces around the central Indiana on a rotating basis. The Arts Council’s public art selection committee reviewed nearly 100 submissions and narrowed the field down to images of 20 semi-finalists. The public will be invited to help narrow the field from 20 semi-finalists to the final ten images via an online voting process beginning Friday, December 6 on IndyArts.org/Guide. To launch the program in grand style, each of the winning images will be displayed around central Indiana for the entire month of January 2014. After this initial period, the images will be featured at various locations as space becomes available throughout Marion and the surrounding counties in 2014.
