Public Art & Cleaner Waterways
At Citizens Energy Group, our passion for bettering Indy runs really deep – 250 feet deep to be exact! The DigIndy Art Project was started in 2018 to use public art to raise awareness of the DigIndy Tunnel System, a 28-mile network of tunnels located 250 feet under the city. Once completed, DigIndy will virtually eliminate sewer overflows into area waterways. Just like DigIndy will help improve our waterways, the DigIndy Art Project enhances our community with art.
Once again, Citizens is partnering with Big Car Collaborative to tell the story of DigIndy. In past years, the DigIndy Art Project featured original art, hand-painted on manhole covers around the city. This year, Citizens is transforming its building at Meridian Street and Westfield Boulevard into a massive mural as part of Citizens’ ongoing efforts to educate the public about the transformational benefits DigIndy is providing our community. Big Car Creative Director Andy Fry and Ess McKee will be creating a large mural designed through collaborative crowdsourcing.
Throughout August, Citizens will engage in virtual community conversations and conduct employee and community online surveys to help direct the narrative.
You can be a part of the creative process by taking a short survey today. The survey closes August 17.
The mural will be finished by September 30. Be sure to swing by and check it out along the canal.
