This four-walled mural spans the entire parking lot of Dance Sophisticates, a custom performance apparel company in the Fountain Square neighborhood. Created by numerous graffiti artists during the 2013 Subsurface Graffiti Expo, this large-scale “free design” space adds a colorful element to one of the neighborhood’s several warehouse buildings.
Subsurface is an annual event that showcases mural and graffiti artists from all over America and beyond. Since 2002, artists have traveled to Indianapolis every Labor Day weekend to create work and build community. Subsurface seeks to advance the art form through beautifying and revitalizing the landscape of the Fountain Square neighborhood specifically. Subsurface also seeks to raise social and cultural awareness and promote the arts as an institution of empowerment for all involved.
