Start your engines: The Welcome Race Fans project is back, bringing vibrant new work from five Indy artists to streets across the city.

Since 2016, this tradition has turned the Circle City into a month-long art show, capturing the excitement of the “month of May.”

Meet this year’s artists:

  • Sarah Anderson
  • Xavier Gray
  • Caroline Hays
  • Cassie Mitchell
  • Frances Ruiz

Their original works — from digital to mixed media — celebrate the thrill of racing and Indy culture, transforming the city into an open-air gallery.
