Handel’s Ice Cream off of 116th Street in Fishers features an 18-foot high mural by Indiana artist Craig Martin, commissioned by the City of Fishers and the Fishers Arts Council. Blue Rose Junction is a large mural depicting a blue rose with ribbons of reds, oranges, whites, and other colors coming into the rose itself.
The mural is an abstract look at the community coming together to gather at Handel’s, a Fishers area business who commissioned Martin for the piece. Blue Rose Junction was described by Martin as his attempt to “find a way, through color and line, to bring together threads of the community and gathering.”
Martin’s public murals have also been showcased in five Lafayette locations. This mural, unveiled on June 8th, 2018, is his celebration of community while highlighting the multilayered nature of it. The expressive and visually open rose, with its many layers, brings in the ribbons, or different threads of community, to one singular place which is a greater than its sum.
