“Hoosier Historia” Public Art Project Seeks Artists

Hoosier Historia is a key program of Indianapolis’ hosting NBA All Star 2024 in February 2024.  This public art project is dedicated to highlighting key stories of “Indiana’s game”—high school basketball, otherwise known as “Hoosier Hysteria.”

Indiana artists will paint twenty-four sculptures depicting giant basketballs, each with one of twenty-four stories that have been determined by basketball historians, former players, former and current coaches, and journalists as well as a public vote to be the most important narratives of our sport. When completed, the sculptures will be prominently displayed during the All Star weekend festivities. After the event is over, the sculptures will be distributed to public locations in Indianapolis and beyond for continued education and enjoyment.

The application deadline is Sunday, May 14, 2023.
