After the approval of a master plan for the renovation and enhancement of the railroad bridge underpasses and adjacent streetscapes, Art Strategies was hired as part of the design team to advance into conceptual design and eventually the creation of construction documents for three major southern gateways into downtown Indianapolis. These gateways connect with major civic assets such as the city’s convention center, Indianapolis Colts Lucas Oil football stadium, the Indiana Pacers Gainbridge field house, major hotels, the central business district, and historic urban neighborhoods.

Using a small curatorial advisory committee of arts not-for-profits in the city, Art Strategies is managing the selection of artists and design teams to create site specific proposals to enhance these underpasses.
