Would you like to learn latch hook and help complete a public art piece?
Stop by Tube Factory on Sundays, 12-2pm to work on the Taylor Swift album iconography inspired fabric art mosaic “Village.”
This piece was commissioned for SPARK on the Circle from Mary Jo Bayliss @andknits and will go on display when finished!
The community art piece began November 1-3 while Taylor Swift was in town. And Bayliss still needs your help creating this 24′ long and 8′ tall art piece made from 13 latch hook canvases of various sizes covered in pompoms to create a colorful composition.
The hands are done with the latch hook process–how people make rugs! The rest of the imagery is made of pompoms and friendship bracelets.
All the tags are from people who have helped make the work so far. Stop by @tubeartspace grab a hot beverage from @normalcoffeeindy hang out, learn latch hook and be part of making this amazing fabric sculpture on Sundays.☀️
SPARK on the Circle is an ongoing partnership between Big Car Collaborative, Downtown Indy, City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development, the Capital Improvement Board, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission

Are you missing SPARK on The Circle…and perhaps the warm weather?
Come join us tonight, 6-10pm for the Circle Show at @tubeartspace !
We’re kicking off 2025 by sharing work of some the artists who helped make SPARK on the Circle happen at Monument Circle in 2024!
Visual artists Katie Faust, Dillion Imel and Sarah Montañez helped lead daily activities of our work in the pop-up park in the Northwest quad for five months. Kris Komakech was one of our SPARK Artists in Residence. He created a Monument Circle Hidden Picture, led a clock-making workshops, and more.
SPARK on the Circle is an ongoing partnership between Big Car Collaborative, Downtown Indy, Inc., the City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission, and is funded by the Capital Improvement Board. At Big Car, we approach our work at the Circle as a site- and community-specific socially engaged art and creative placemaking project.
The exhibition runs through January 23.
