Public art in Muncie : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This booklet is an attempt to encourage the preservation and development of public art in Muncie. Each page contains information about the history, meaning and style of a local public art piece. Photography also attempts to capture the spirit of the pieces. Recent changes such as the legalization of graffiti on the greenways and the addition of more modern art communicates Muncie's desire to develop a more involved art culture publicly. Twelve pieces are included: Passing of the Buffalo, Beneficence, The Unity Pass, Catalyst, Paul Bunyan, Vietnam Veteran Valor Monument, George F. McCulloch, The Statues of Industry and Agriculture, Greenway Graffiti, Appeal to the Great Spirit, Wait for Me, and Night Song. A map also locates the art pieces and encourages readers to explore Muncie.
