Road Trip - Check out Indianapolis!

Recently I drove across the country with my daughter and our dog. One of her favorite books in recent months has been John Green's The Fault in Our Stars   or TFIOS, as the movie/book is referred to by its many fans. I had heard about the book but never read it. When it became clear our road trip would take us right through Indianapolis, where TFIOS is set, I needed to get up to speed quickly. We downloaded the audiobook on iTunes. Its nearly 8 hour length sped by as we covered parts of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.

Here’s a picture of my daughter enjoying the Funky Bones sculpture, the scene of a picnic in the book.  Funky Bones is located at the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. 
Here's an aerial view of Funky Bones plus some other angles. 

And when you visit, please check out Kim Beck's Notice: Flock of Signs.



Both works of art are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

This December NAIS is hosting the annual People of Color Conference (PoCC)  in Indianapolis. If you’ll be attending please make sure to find time to pop over and visit these outdoor sculptures!!
