'Through this, we were able to identify gaps in equity, public arts deserts and much, much more.' Researchers also created an interactive map of all 3,090 public art works across Marion County.
MARION COUNTY — In a first of its kind study, researchers have completed a public art equity census in Marion County.
Rokh Research & Design Studio partnered with the Arts Council of Indianapolis and other groups for the nine month project, which looked at all of the visible artwork from the public right of way within the county. Only 537, or 17% of the works, were marked with an artist signature, something researchers said hampered their ability to further study equity, inclusion, and representation.
Moore says the Council plans to improve artist information and recognition at the locations of public art, addressing public art deserts and more."Public art has always made Indianapolis special because of the artistic elements of our landscape. [They] have the power to create culture and space," Deputy Mayor Judith Thomas said.
