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!)

This is a very powerful and intriguing piece that is located off to the side of the Roberts Park…read moreUnited Methodist Church. This sculpture is the work of Timothy Schmalz, a Canadian sculptor and devout Catholic, who was commissioned by Roberts Park United Methodist Church to create this bronze sculpture in 2015. It also goes by the name Jesus the Homeless. As nice as it is, this piece is not one of a kind. There are a bunch of them placed all around the world, well over 100. The original was made in 2013 and is located at Regis College, University of Toronto. Other locations that you will find the sculpture include Australia, Singapore, Israel, South Korea, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Columbia and the Dominican Republic to name just a few. This sculpture is very realistic and detailed. Which brings me to a funny story. In October 2020, police in Ohio were dispatched to a report of a homeless man sleeping on a park bench. Ironically, this call was made within 20 minutes of the Homeless Jesus sculpture being installed. Yep, some called the police on the statue. I will admit, I had to do a double take to make sure it was not real when I saw it. And you are certain to be fooled if you are driving by. It should be noted the the sculpture in Vatican City has received the blessing of the Pope. The bench is about 7 feet wide and depicts a covered figure, assumed to be Jesus, laying on it. The only real identification being the crucifixion wounds on the figures feet. For the low price of 99.99 you too can have your own mini-homeless Jesus made by the artist himself. The sculpture is just off of the Roberts Park United Methodist Church parking lot and runs along Alabama Street. There is tons of metered street parking available in front of and adjacent to the sculpture. There is also a commercial parking lot directly behind it that you can pull into, get out and take a closer look too. I guess you could also do a safe and strategic slow rolling drive by and get a a half decent look, but I do not recommend that. You will not get the full effect of the sculpture. As with most sculptures that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. You may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other sculptures, murals and attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. Brickhead3 and Viewfinders would be a great start.

The street runs between the convention center and Banker's Life Fieldhouse - six or seven blocks. The here are a handful of restaurants and bars along the route including Harry and Izzy's. There are lots of restaurants and hotels on the side streets along the street as well. To the south one block, the railroad meets Union Station. The median of the street is decorated with metal arch structures and lights. During events, various businesses and food trucks will offer beverages and street foods. The street is a lovely walk after a late night basketball game. I like to go down early on a Sunday morning when no one is around and enjoy the magnificent architecture along the route.

Big problem was that all the tents were selling the same thing and local brewed beers were not available. A band was playing songs from the 80's to a crowd of college kids. It seems the only time heaters are active along this street is when our convention space is booked. It would seem like restaurants along this stretch would benefit from a little glamping on weekends just for us Indy folk. It's a great stretch of nothingness most of the time. I wish the city would do more to promote this space on weekends throughout the year.

Michelangelo Sistine Chapel Exhibit

Michelangelo Sistine Chapel Exhibit

This magnificent and stunning exhibit was a pleasant surprise to find right here in downtown Indy…read moreand a delight to experience. The lighting is low, the air is cool and the atmosphere is calming and relaxing. You can explore Michelangelo's Masterpieces from the 8,611 square feet Sistine Chapel ceiling which have been reproduced using state-of-the-art technology. I found it fanastating that Michelangelo reluctantly accepted this large tasks as he saw himself more as a sculptor than a painter. After only 4 1/2 years, the Sistine Chapel was opened with a festive ceremony on All Staints' Day, 1512. In 1536, Michelangelo was commissioned by Paul III who wanted a new design on the wall behind the altar in the Sistine Chapel. The Last Judgement was completed 5 years later and this Masterpiece is also on display. This Exhibit is brought to Indy by the same organizers who brought King Tut, Titanic and Frida Kahlo to the various cities through the United States. This spectacular exhibit is located in the old Carson/L.S. Ayres department store on the corner of Washington and Meridian Street with the entrance on Washington Street across from T-Mobile. You can easily park in the Mall Parking Garage, take the elevator to the main floor (by P.F. Chang's) on the corner of Washington and Illinois and take the sidewalk (east) to the entrance. The Exhibit runs through August 26th from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Sunday through Saturday and tickets must be purchased beforehand online. Download the Exhibition's Audioguide from Google or Apple prior to visiting to save time. The app is included as part of your ticket and will give you access up to 60 minutes of additional award winning audio guide content. Be sure to bring your own personal headphones. After checking in, there's an overview of the exhibit you can watch prior to exploring plus it's on an endless loop so it can be viewed whenever you're ready. The artwork is laid out very well with a brief description by each piece and a QR Code to scan. Several small benches are located on the outside row so you can sit to enjoy these stunning works of art. I could list each of the masterpieces you'll see but words truly will not do each justice. I'll post pictures, which again, do not truly reflect their depth of beauty and emotional significance. One of the challenges we took to heart was to step into Michelangelo shoes and gain a new perspective on these famous works of art by studying them from the same distance that the artist created them. I can't even imagine how difficult that would have been. On August 25th and August 26th two Candlelight concerts (6:30 & 9:00 p.m.) bring the magic of a live, multi-sensory musical expereience to this exhibit. Enjoy the timeless sounds of Vivaldi, Bach and Mozart while surrounded by the incomparable universe of Michelangelo - all under the gentle glow of candlelight. Age requirements for the concert is 8 years old or older. Anyone 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Seating is based on first come first served basis in each zone. Merchandise is available, and affordable, by the exit. A few things you'll find is magnetics, programs, wine bags and glasses, laptop cases, 8 x 10 prints, tote bags and shirts. If you have an opportunity to visit the Michaelangelo Sistine Chapel Exhibit, go. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you enjoy this kind of thing. I hope to return for the Candlelight Concerts on 8/26.

You can tell that this was once an awesome mural. But those days are long behind it. The mural was…read morepainted in 2017 by the FAB Crew, with the assistance of an artist named Gamble, as a tribute to the Cincinnati-based, nationally-known graffiti artist Speedbeard (Jason Brunson), who passed away suddenly in 2017. The mural depicts Speedbeard's pet French bulldog, Frenchie, the inspiration behind many of his characters The dog is wearing Speedbeard's trademark black t-shirt, and has parodies of Speedbeard's full-sleeve tattoos. You can see that the painting has a lot of detail and their inspiration bled through. However, the mural is greatly deteriorated and the wall that it is painted on is actually chipping away piece by piece. I had to do a double take to make sure that I had the correct mural. This mural needs a lot of help, but may be beyond saving. As with most murals, this is probably not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. There is parking available in the alley that the mural is in and it is easily accesible. However, you can probably even do a drive by. It is best to plan out additional stops at many of the other wonderful murals in the area to maximize your trip.

Speedbeard owns a French Bulldog, has a beard, and full sleeve arm tattoos. The bulldog and the arm tattoos were incorporated into this mural along with the neck chain with Speedbeard on it. If you have a knack for reading the graffiti style writing, you can see the artist's names, though I struggle with the two on the right side more than on the left. The dog looks real. The rest of the mural is a swirl of vibrant colors. Very visually effective in catching the eye of passersby. I hope this one will last longer than most of the other great murals that have been at this location. Review #1878
