Donald Lipski shares the story behind the siting and design of The Tent. The sculptor was chosen by the 500 Festival’s 50th Anniversary Artist Selection Committee, which was organized by the 500 Festival, with support from the Arts Council of Indianapolis and is comprised of representatives from the 500 Festival, the 500 Festival Foundation as well as representatives from the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Herron School of Art and Design, Expo Design and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Tent is a four story structure, two torqued panels of stainless steel tubing, holding nearly 500 panels, painted many colors on the outside and polished to a mirror finish on the inside. The flaps move in the slightest breeze.
