INDIANAPOLIS — The third weekend of October, Indy Art Scene’s Jordan Thomas and local artists Nick Smith and Levi Jamison present the first ever Indy Mural Festival.
Featuring commissioned walls in various locations around Indianapolis, over 50 local artists will participate and create new pieces over the course of the weekend. The festival will feature mural, street, and graffiti artists in many styles and genres.
On October 26 from 2-6 p.m., there will be an official celebration with food trucks, music, and art activities in the Madison Lofts/Madison BMV parking lot at 1400 Madison Ave. This location is very close to where many artists will be painting over the course of the festival, so the public can enjoy some food, jam to some local music, and watch as artists create their masterpieces.
Each artist has been assigned an approximately 15x15ft wall spot in one of 6 locations on the near south and southeast sides of the city, and in each location more than one artist will be at work. Locations include 1400 Madison Ave/. 202 E. Palmer St., 1530 and 1544 Kennington St., 229 Shelby St., and 1029 Fletcher Ave.
