In the summer of 2021, local researchers did a street-by-street inventory of public art in Indianapolis/Marion County. Led by Rokh Research & Design Studio, this team traveled 6,500+ linear miles to catalog and map all artworks–memorials, murals, signs, monuments, and more–that are visible from the public right-of-way. They also assessed whether public art is truly accessible to all.
Rokh’s findings broaden our community’s definition of public art and help us better understand the gaps that underscore opportunities to create an inclusive public art landscape. We invite you to read the report and learn more about how you can advocate for equity in public art in Indianapolis.

Public Art for All, conducted and designed by Rokh, was produced in partnership with Indy Arts Council and Art Strategies LLC. Funding was provided by the City of Indianapolis Bicentennial Commission, the Herbert Simon Family Foundation, and the Central Indiana Community Foundation.
