Funded by the National Science Foundation, StreamLines is a place-based arts and science learning project that will encourage the people of Indianapolis to explore the city’s water systems through interactive experiences.
StreamLines features a collection of installations along Indianapolis’ waterways and adjacent greenspaces inviting the community to explore, experience and learn about the science of local water systems through visual art, poetry, dance and music. The project also incorporates a website and smart phone application to increase access, interpretation and opportunities for learning.
As a complementary component, StreamLines includes a series of programs designed to activate and engage the community in informal science learning (ISL).
The visual art will be located at focus areas identified by community stakeholders as part of the Reconnecting to Our Waterways (ROW) initiative. These focus areas are along the White River, Fall Creek, Central Canal, Little Eagle Creek, Pleasant Run and Pogue’s Run.
The StreamLines website and app will allow the public around the clock access to the visual art, poetry, dance and music.
