Vibrant Corridors
http://www.kibi.org/programs/special-initiatives/vibrant-corridors/
A civic-led, public art initiative to beautify the downtown environment and help create exciting neighborhoods and travel corridors. Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, the Arts Council of Indianapolis and Downtown Indy have partnered to fund and create painted mural artwork in gateway underpasses around downtown, in a civic-led initiative called Vibrant Corridors. Vibrant Corridors transforms underpasses into beautiful community assets, employs artists, engages local businesses as suppliers, and motivates community volunteers to improve the city.
