Attendees of the Broad Ripple Art Walk and Lockerbie Night Market + Beer Garden joined Citizens Energy Group to create paint-by-numbers designs on wooden replicas of manhole covers, contribute their own personal artistic touches to community manhole covers, take the virtual reality tour of the DigIndy Tunnel System and learn more about how DigIndy is improving our local waterways.
Citizens has partnered with Big Car Collaborative to execute this year’s Art Project events. Big Car, which is located near Garfield Park on the city’s south side, is a nonprofit arts organization with a collective of artists, writers, designers and musicians who work together on projects and programs that range from neighborhood-based social-practice work with the public, to engagement-based public art, to experimental performances and events.
Throughout the month of September, Citizens also is sponsoring Big Car’s Guichelaar Gallery (1135 Cruft St.), where the creative work of several local artists who transformed manhole covers into works of art will be on display. Stop by the gallery and learn more about what inspired their work and their creative interpretation of the DigIndy Tunnel System!
