UNITED WAY PUBLIC ART PROJECT

The Indiana Association of United Ways facilitating a public art project in partnership with the Indiana Bicentennial Commission. This officially endorsed legacy project aims to celebrate Indiana’s rich and diverse history and unique features. As part of the Bison-tennial project, artists will decorate 5-foot-tall fiberglass bison for public display throughout Indiana. The end goal is that at least one – if not a herd – of bison will be on display in each of Indiana’s 92 counties.

The bison are expected to be complete around May, with appearances in the local community throughout the summer. These public art pieces will also be highlighted along the Bicentennial Torch Relay route, running from September 9 through October 15, 2016, culminating in Indiana’s Bicentennial Statehood Day on December 11, 2016.
