ART TAP episode 072

On tap this week is Julia Muney Moore, Director of Public Art at the Arts Council of Indianapolis.  Julia directs and manages all aspects of public art programs for the Arts Council of Indianapolis, including project development, execution, and maintenance of individual works of art. She talks about how artists can work with neighborhoods and communities to not just enhance shared spaces but to draw attention with the artwork to what makes those areas unique and important.
