SPARK is a partnership between Big Car Collaborative, Downtown Indy, Inc., City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development, with support from the Indiana War Memorials Commission. It is a continuation of our work on the Circle in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2015.

At Big Car, we approach our work at the Circle as a site- and community-specific socially engaged art and creative placemaking project. The SPARK on the Circle pop-up park was collaboratively designed with Indianapolis-based Merritt Chase to be a restorative public place where people of all walks of life can relax, play, socialize, and engage with art and artists in the heart of our city.
