Urban Walls: Indianapolis

The Urban Walls program began in 1970 as a community project to create monumental painted walls on the sides of buildings (murals) in the urban center of Cincinnati. The program was created and co-ordinated by the Carl Solway Gallery, also of Cincinnati. By the time the gallery opened the exhibition "URBAN WALLS: CINCINNATI" at the Solway Gallery in 1971, five walls were completed; another five would be completed by the end 1973. After the exhibition travelled to the John Herron Art Institute in 1972, two Urban Walls were completed in downtown Indianapolis, one in 1973, the other in 1975. The program can be traced back [[City Walls, Inc

Three murals were painted on the cottages of Indiana Boys School, a fourth one in the works that year. The program began in May of 1975 and was supported through funding from Hospital Audiences, Incorporated and the Indiana Arts Commission. The consulting artist for the project was Roland Hobart who was helped by Denise Nicholas and Dennis Kirshman.

During the summer of 1975 the Metropolitan Arts Council created the Youth Graphics Projected and worked with teenagers, many of which were in the Lilly Endowment-funded, "Tech 300" program, to create a eleven 14-foot by 28-foot murals on the Penn Central underpass at Virginia and Alabama and Deleware and Georgia Streets. Students from the short-lived Summer Program for Economically Disadvantaged Youth (SPEDY) also helped paint the murals. The thirty-three students in this program worked with artists Roland Hobart and Don Moore to learn the needed skills; one of the designs for the murals came from program that Hobart was involved with previously at the Indiana Boys School.

Many supported this work, including Naegele Outdoor Advertising, Ayr-Way, and the Indiana Arts Commission. The summer work with the students was soon recognized in a dedication speech by Deputy Mayor Thomas C. Hasbrook on Monday, 25 August 1975.
