Public feedback is underway on four convention center art proposals.

The center’s advisory group will review the comments and give a recommendation to the Capital Improvement Board during its May 20 public meeting.

The artwork is part of the city’s “One Percent for the Arts” project, in which one percent of every capital project budget goes toward public art.

That amounts to $520,000 in this case, with $100,000 dedicated to growing the center’s permanent wall artwork.

The installation could extend through the pedestrian bridge, courtyards, and hallways.

The online survey is available until May 1.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
