June 19 — Public Forum about the IMA’s scaled-back plans for the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park
The Indianapolis Museum of Art had plans for a unique art & nature park that could transform the way we think of museums, art, and nature. Now they have scaled back by half. Good news, bad news, or something else? The museum’s leaders explain their new and improved vision.
When: Thursday June 19, 7:30 PM
Where: The Deer Zink Events Pavilion at the IMA, 4000 Michigan Road.
Artist’s renderings and plans for the IMA’s Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park will be discussed, and the public will be invited to ask questions of the presenters, including Maxwell L. Anderson, the IMA’s director and CEO; Lisa D. Freiman, senior curator of contemporary art; and Mark Zelonis, the Ruth Lilly director for historic preservation and horticulture.
A couple of articles about the scaled back plans for the Art & Nature Park from IBJ and the Star. The Urbanophile offers his usual penetrating analysis. Should be a good discussion with the Museum folks as well as members of the Green movement who’ll be attending.
