Greenwood, IN Art on the Trail 2019-2021
The Greenwood Parks & Recreation Department, Greenwood, Indiana, invites you to participate in our 2019-2021 juried, on-loan, public art exhibit. This open call is for outdoor
three-dimensional art. The selected artists will be awarded $3,000 for the two-year loan project.
Polk Hill Trail was built in 2004 as part of a greater Trails and Greenways Master Plan. It is adjacent to Smith Valley Road which is a gateway to the city of Greenwood. Surrounded
