The Indianapolis Museum of Art debuted its new 100-acre park.
The site is called 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park, which includes 100 acres of woodlands, wetlands, a lake and meadows. Formerly a gravel pit and construction area, the park is bordered by the White River and runs contiguous to the museum’s 52-acre campus, more than half of which is composed of historic landscapes and gardens.
The park opened with eight newly commissioned inaugural works by international artists, a LEED-certified visitor center and numerous walking trails that highlight the indigenous landscape. Commissions for the park will be ongoing, with additional artists’ projects announced annually.
