INDIANAPOLIS — It was a city full of color. Masked people in lightweight jackets strolled around Monument Circle here on Saturday, the light breeze tossing women’s ponytails. Strains of lilting flute music piped over the loudspeakers dueled with “Party in the U.S.A.” from the South Bend Chocolate Company’s storefront. And, around a city that a year ago saw empty streets and was very much shuttered, nearly 50 pieces of vibrant art and poetry installations filled formerly vacant windows and the Indianapolis International Airport. The organization partnered with the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and GANGGANG, a local arts incubator working to elevate artists of color, to present more than 250 pop-up music, dance and spoken word performances.
