How to propose an art or community activity for Spark City Market and Monument Circle:
The door is open for you or your community or group to share a simple proposal for a pop-up experience — performance, workshop, mini event, or whatever you think might be a great idea for public spaces. Your activity should be playful, inclusive, and interactive. Participants could include crafters, makers, teachers, instructors, gamers, business owners, and artists of all kinds to share a fun, creative, and educational experience for downtown Indianapolis.
Activities on City Market’s East Plaza will occur Wednesdays from 10am to 4pm and activities on Monument Circle will occur during the evening from 5pm to 9pm.
Activities should:
· Be suitable for public spaces and all ages (no explicit, religious, or political content)
· Be free to the public
· Be inexpensive to produce (we have a modest budget for time and supplies and welcome no-cost, partnership ideas as well — budgets are reviewed for each proposal)
· Be led by a person 18 years or older, or with permission of a parent or guardian
Submissions will be reviewed based on these criteria:
· Does the idea fit within the spirit and themes of Spark and the city?
· Will it happen on one or more of the Wednesdays between now and the end of October?
· Is it social, inclusive, and engaging?
· Is it easy enough to implement?
· Will it appeal to people, especially families?
· Is it connected to the site and to the community?
· What are the costs for time and materials?
