"RE-DOME" Art Contest

February 01, 2010

Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Inc. is calling on all schools, artists, neighborhoods and non-profit organizations to RE-USE the Dome roof material in an effort to build community and display art around our city. We want the roof, under which the Indianapolis Colts once played and many other special events took place, to become a medium for local artists, a canvas for school classrooms, matter used to create artistic products, and countless other ideas that are just waiting to unfold with your involvement.
