An empty, bare wall of a warehouse on Indianapolis' near south side is bustling with students and paint brushes. Christel House Academy and the Eiteljorg Museum have teamed up to paint a mural at 1201 South Meridian St. (See Google Map view)

Native American photographer and instillation artist Will Wilson (Dine) directs the project which includes tracing and organizing students and volunteers to join forces in creating the beautiful finished product. The mural celebrates the "Indians of Indiana" and is part of the multicultural education program at Christel House Academy.

The mural will be unveiled at the site this Thursday, October 15 at 2:30 p.m.
