Meh. It's a wonderful idea and a great way to support a wonderful local nonprofit. However, it was…read morejust a "meh" event to me. I love the many different options that they have available, but at the same time, it might make more sense to have some activities that involved a lot of people (ie a bigger/better dance floor or something of that matter). Overall, a good event, but I would like to see more next year, something that would make the ticket worth the money spent!

I left Adult Swim with one question: How many people work all night long to get the smell of beer…read moreand food out of the museum before they open the next morning for the public? I can't even begin to imagine how they go about this task! Adult Swim is a benefit event held at the Children's Museum. Only in its second year, someone decided the first year was a smash hit because tickets increased by $15 this year (or maybe that was the surcharge for cleaning). All tickets sold out though, so that's a good sign! I'm not really sure who the benefit was for though.. maybe some additional information about that next year would help raise even more money Unlike other events I've been to, this one didn't FEEL like the event was sold out. Lines for some of the food and drink tables had a few other people in them, but the event planners did a great job of making sure there were enough tables and enough room that everyone could have a good time. Really, the night was about being a big kid in the museum into the night, and everyone I was with had a blast! Here's hoping next year is just as great (and not about $15 bucks more expensive per ticket!)

How did I not know about this ? I found it purely by accident. Took a wrong turn due to road…read moreclosure along College... spotted a huge flower out of the corner of my eye and since I love murals, I had to go and investigate... Wow... just wow... you gotta love a neighborhood coming together like this and beautifying the area. No dark & grimy alley here. Almost every house displays a different flower or other nature motive along at least 2 city blocks. Take a stroll or cruise through it. So worth it. Pictures don't do it justice. Each mural is unique and works well with the building it adorns, but taken all together, this is a true masterpiece.

This is an amazing spot. What makes it so amazing is that many of the residents got together to…read moremake this happen. The murals are mostly on garages of private homes along an alleyway. This project was the vision of local resident of Deborah Jacobs of RippleBnB. Most of the works were painted by renowned artist Jules "MuckRock" Muck during here 2019 residency here in Indy. Local artist Abigail Staffelbach has added in some of her work to the alley. There are all very nice and depict different flowers. They all do, however, have a common theme. They are all titled "Be (fill in the blank), such as Be Free (red poppies), Be yourself (bouquet of pink and red flowers), Be Joyful (sunflowers with a black background), Be Love ( red roses, of course with a red background), Be Grateful (Indiana corn field against a blue sky), Be remembered (sympathy arrangement of white roses and white chrysanthemums), Be Peace (with white and yellow daises and purple cone flowers. This mural cover 2 sides of the garage and has a black and a white background), and Be Authentic (purple petunias on a rustic barn). There is also a fence that is painted at the end of the alley that has a Bee and is titled Just Bee. These are not your usual MuckRock style art, and only has her tag in the lower portion of most of them. There is parking available on the street adjacent to the alley and you could also just pull up into the alley to park and get a closer look. There are a lot of flower murals that line the alley, I counted 8 in all (7 by MuckRock and 1 by Staffelbach). Bravo to that neighbor hood. My favorite was Be Love because the red on red worked for me. The second was Just Bee. In addition to the bees, you will find a signature MuckRock rabbit. Even though there are a lot to sort through in this alley, I do not think it is still a pretty long stop. I recommend filling out a larger itinerary with this and some of the other wonderful murals and/or restaurants in the area. Trust me, there are a ton of them. I love this mural project and how the community came together to make this happen. It is a beautiful thing. It is a must see if you are mural hunting in the Broad Ripple area. I really enjoyed this area, and I am sure that you will too.

The trail is Certified Sustainable by the Indiana Wildlife Federation. We visited on a beautiful Memorial Day morning. I would not have known the garden was here, had I not been looking for the Twisted House sculpture. The park contains 13 sculptures by artists with Indiana ties. In addition, 37 garden features located throughout the park were gift by various benefactors. The art is interesting. There are a mix of concrete walkways and gravel paths. Benches provide seating at various points along the walkways. Free parking is available on the east side of the Arts building and there is no charge to walk through the trails. The park is a hidden gem and worth a visit.

I would often visit when my children were young when we needed a place for them to roam and explore outdoors, so this place holds a special place in my heart. This park is super kid-friendly. The park is contains several art displays, statues and exhibits all throughout the grounds, all set among beautiful landscaping and trees. It's like a gallery without walls. It's also right by the White River, which you can see from a boardwalk that overlooks the river. It's also right by the Monon Trail, so it's easy to get to by bike or by foot. There are a couple of art displays that my kids would play at a lot, and they were the more hands-on pieces. One of them is the "Twisted House," which is a wooden house that's twisted and turny, but kids can go inside. It also makes for a super Instagram-worthy backdrop! "Circle" is another piece in the ArtsPark that my kids gravitated to. It's a Zen-like sculpture composed of a 10-foot ring of black granite with a sand garden on the inside. You can't miss "Crescendo," a bright blue sculpture composed of 6,000 tiles. If you look at the tiles closely, you'll see little uplifting quotes and sayings written on them. I can spend many hours just sitting at ArtsPark among all of the art and nature. It's a beautiful place in the heart of Broad Ripple, and a genuine hidden gem of Indianapolis.

Angel wings II is a broad Ripple Neighborhood of Indianapolis Indiana public art piece that…read morefeatures a giant pair of Angel wings with a vibrant spattering of greens serving as the background. My family and I was in town for the weekend from Lousiville while we were discovering the broad ripple area we came across this piece. Angel wing murals are all the rage now as they are fun and cute photo ops. This one sticks out to me because green is my favorite color and it uses a large variety of them. Evidently there is a bother Angel wings mural in the area hence being labeled II. We did not find that piece on our visit but we did enjoy this one. On the same wall is a large mural of a purple coach with yellow Polk a dots and in the rear of the parking lot is another mural on a small building called octo lady. So a nice little spot to check out some public art.

By colorful I mean the background with consisting of vertical strips going from dark green to light green and back. The wings are monocolor and just painted in black. The wings overlook a private parking lot, so swinging into to get a quick closer look should not be to big of an issue. This are of type of wings that you can take a picture in front of and appear to be on you. They have appeared in many instagrams from all across the country. The wings are the work of Megan Jefferson and Jamie Locke of the Department of Public Words, a group's whose mission is to spread positivity through public art and interactive projects. The pair have a couple of wing murals along the trail and they intended them to infuse hope and love into public spaces of the city. They are eye catching and would make any teenager's Insta proud. They are adult height, sorry littles, you have to go down the trail a bit to find the kiddie sized ones. The mural is very dirty. It looks like it is covered in a lot of soot/scuffs and needs a good scrubbing. There is metered street parking within a short walk of this mural or you can just pull into the parking lot that the mural overlooks to park and get a closer look or take a selfie. As with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is probably not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other wonderful murals in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. There are tons of murals in the area to check out.

Muckrock Mural at Rebel Vintage

There's nothing in the world like the discovery of another Jules Muck public art piece in the…read moreIndianapolis area. That's exactly what I found today while out and about in the SoBro area checking out familiar and unfamiliar shops. This piece would likely be considered one of Muck's less pronounced pieces, though I found it absolutely hypnotic and it fits perfectly within the confines of the retro-vibed Rebel Vintage in SoBro. While Muck's work has grown in both acceptability and collectability, she continues to be drawn to creating art where she's not necessarily supposed to create art. Muck has been published in numerous books, participated in collaborative art projects, and has painted murals for TV shows and movies. A known music obsessive, Muck has done five memorials for Motorhead's Lemmy including pieces at Dave Grohl's studio and at the famed Rainbow Room. She's mucked Engelbert Humperdinck's home and painted in Syrian refugee camps. Basically, the world is mucked. These vividly realized eyes with rainbows flowing from them are perfect for a shop that has gone out of its way to be inclusive and works with a variety of partners in the Indy area. I have a dream of one day getting a Muck memorial piece done here in Indy, though I have to find just the right wall. I was all giddy to find Jules Muck's piece here right at the register inside Rebel Vintage. If you get a chance, you'll definitely want to check it out. I couldn't find an actual name for the piece, though Muck has signed it.
