Supported by a $20.5 million DOT grant, the eight-mile urban bicycle and pedestrian path known as the Cultural Trail in Indianapolis connects five cultural districts to downtown. The ArtPlace grant supports the completion of Swarm Street, an interactive light environment by Vito Acconci. This installation along one particularly difficult section of the trail through a major parking garage will knit together the city’s largest Latino neighborhood with major employers and downtown, overcoming a physical barrier that has separated them.
